Hello everyone. I've read through so many helpful topics here, and have read through the Guangzhou Consulate website, but the answer to this question is escaping me. There are references in several posts, that the DS-156 and/or the DS-157 Forms are needed at the medical exam. Yet, I can find no mention of this requirement in the information from the Consulate, or the excellent "Kitchen Sink" posts. Are these Forms required at the Exam? And if so, how many copies? My Fiancee will have her Exam at the end of this month, in Shanghai, and I hope that someone could clarify this, for us. Maybe I have misread something? Maybe missed something? Maybe I'm just burnt out.... -
Ok....I am sure this has been answered but I am unable to find Instructions say: Two copies of DS-156 form with original signatures (with Chinese name and telegraphic code). Two copies of DS-157 form (Only applicants aged 16 or older need to submit this form). Does this mean 2 copies in English and 2 in Chinese...or 1 copy in each language? Robert

FYI so others can avoid the same problem... We showed up in GZ with lots of confidence that things were well under control thanks to the good info CFL keeps here... However, it seems that some of the paperwork requirements changed. Formerly, it seems that GUZ let the applicant choose whether they submitted two copies of DS-156 and DS-157 in EITHER Chinese OR English. Now they insist on two copies in BOTH Chinese AND English... to be clear, this now is... * DS-156 (English) in duplicate * DS-156 (Chinese) in duplicate * DS-157 (English) in duplicate * DS-157 (Chinese) in duplicate I'm still recovering from the mopslap I got... and it cost me an extra day in Guangzhou. At least the kind folks at the Consulate let us come back the next day with updated papers. Mods may want to mention to USCONSGUZ that the GUZ forms page currently has an older copy of the "Letter to K1/K3 Applicant" that doesn't reflect the changed requirements. -
ON the Guangzhou consulate site there is a link to the Ds157, on the form it specifically says expires 9/8/2008 can we still use it? http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/vi...ation_form.html -
Hi again all. Just getting some last minute loose ends done before Xiongxing has her interview. Do we need 2 Chinese and 2 English copies of these forms?

I have read the below message on the consulate website.. which states that the DS-157 only needs to be submitted in english (the chinese version does not have to be filled out). 1. Is this applicable to K-# visa applicants? 2. If #1 is yes, is this also true of the DS-156? ---- DS-157 Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application All applicants 16 years of age and older must complete the DS-157 application form, which is one page. Click here to download the DS-157 form, type your answers in the space provided below each item and print out the completed form. You don't need to fill out a Chinese DS-157, but if you need its Chinese translation to help understand the English form, click here. (Note: When filling out Item 3 'Full Name (In Native Alphabet)', Chinese applicants should write down their full name in Chinese characters. Chinese applicants must also fill out items 5, 6, 7, 12 & 17 in Chinese characters.)
