My interview is tomorrow and I just noticed I don't have a "DS-156K" form. I looked for it on the USCIS site and it doesn't even exist there. What am I going to do?

DS = Department of State, so you wont find it on the USCIS site which is Department of Homeland Security.

Try here: http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/forms/

'DS' forms don't appear on the USCIS site 'cos they're State Department ones... here:

JoeCanuk,

Does 'Google' ring a bell?

Yodrak

Yep, Google is your friend! Just enter DS-156K in the search box.

Do not make fun of me! I am highly damn stressed out! My interview is Wednesday. I leave at 1:30 in the morning this am by bus. If you can't help, then shut the hell up!



It didn't occur to me to use Google. After all...I used the goddamn USCIS website. How the hell was I supposed to know it wouldn't be there? Huh?



Thanks. Nice to see someone is helpful. Would that some others would be as well, instead of being ignorant asses.

Ignorant indicates a lack of knowledge.
Who is asking all the questions?

This is a forum to ask questions, no? I am not ignorant as I am asking questions. An ignorant person doesn't even ask the questions. Such as the one who chose to mock me and say "Google ring a bell" without even taking the time to clarify whether I even knew I needed to use it or not. Thanks for your "help" though.

Now that's news for me - so everyone needs this form at MTL? Or only for non-immigrant visas?
Good luck at interview Joe, we'll be rooting for yah.
L.

Thank you L&B. I don't know. I just noticed it in my additional paragraph to the checklist. I assumed I had it (that was dumb). I'm not sure what it's for. I always thought a K1 visa was an immigrant visa but I guess not.

PS good luck to you as well.

Yep, when I don't know something I first search for an answer, and when I exhaust that, I then ask.

That's all well and good when you don't have a time limit. I uh...leave at 1:30 in the morning. So, I guess that makes you better than me? Excuse me for trusting people like you to help. I won't make that "ignorant" mistake again.

You won't need one. the DS156K is for K visas.

JoeCanuk,

I'm not making fun of you. I'm telling you where you can find the form real quick. That's what you asked for, isn't it?

And stressed or not, watch your language and how you respond to people.

Yodrak

Fair enough. And I think everyone can watch how they talk to me too.

Most people ask questions on here when they need help. It is not a series of links to different Google searches or it would be rather pointless. People ask questions for different reasons and I tend to agree that if you arent saying anything helpful in response you really shouldnt bother. You didnt tell him where he would find the form real quick, you asked "if Google rings a bell"? which isnt the same.

I dont think anyone can blame him for his response to you in this case.

Yodrak is one of the most helpful members on here. And a moderator. Watch how you speak to him.

There are plenty of guides & places on here to look for info. I suggest doing it before the night before your intervierw.

Most of his responses are like that!

Thank you. You are right.

Tinker, what have I done to you? Most of my responses are fine. Do not lie about me. The odd response that I have an attitude in, it is because someone was a jerk TO ME.



I don't need a lecture on how to talk to someone. Thank you. You may have found him helpfu. I didn't.

PS the "guides" here are the problem. No wonder everyone has a different thing to say. I also thought the "forum" was a place to look for "info". Apparently not?

robburnsefc,

It isn't? Try googling 'form I-156' and see how long it takes you to find the form.

Yodrak

You come on here full of piss & vinegar & throw away any answers that do not spell it out for you. 3 people replied to you who are incredible resources of information.

The guides are not a problem. Perhaps you are not reading them?

There is a CANADIAN forum, which has pinned threads & plenty of VJers who have been thru the process. There is a Canadian embassy page (2 actually - Montreal & Vancouver) which spell out in detail what is needed for your process/interview.

There is also a giant SEARCH button on VJ.

Now I shall report your atrocious behavior.

Were we talking about form I-156? I myself thought this was a message board to find help. I guess if I'm not allowed to ask for help and I have to google, you won't be giving much advice then? Or at least any advice that anyone has to listen to. Just tell us all to google.

Um...excuse me? I didn't throw out any answers. You can quit lying or you'll be getting reported too. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that a couple of people were rude as hell in their response. If you're going to excuse that then you must excuse my so-called "atrocious" behaviour. Well, you don't have to. But then what you will have to do is admit to having a tad bit of hypocrisy.

The guides ARE the problem.

I know about the CANADIAN forum. I've posted on it. And people on there even say things that are different from what the consulate says. Yes, there is a SEARCH button. Forgive me for asking a question. I thought that's what forums were for. Don't let me see you asking any questions cuz I'll be the first one to jump down your throat and tell you there is a SEARCH button!

Please tell me where the guides are the problem.

I am NOT a liar & suggesting that when it is blantantly obvious I am not - is just ridiculous.

Before your post a new topic on VJ it says:

Please consider reading the FAQ's and Guides before posting.

So yes, you may ask questions, but you will not be spoon fed & are expected to look for answers first.

(edited for spelling)

JoeCanuck, Please remember you have more important thing ahead. Your interview. Prepare your documents carefully. Whatever happens here on VJ shall remain here. You have more important thing to get done with in real life.
Good luck on your interview.

Joe, I came here with the same questions, I got the same answers, read the guides.
I read the guides and found ALMOST everything I needed. Then I did searchs. When I couldn't do that, I read topic after topic, and if that didn't help I asked. I've learned that YES I can do this whole thing, and I will be able to continue right up to the end of the whole process. NOT because everyone is holding my hand, but because they've showed me how to find the answers myself.
I can ask for help now, because I treat these people with respect and I receive the same back.

Snapping at people when you don't get the answer you want doesn't work.
Everyone on here is or has been just as frustrated as you. They're trying to help.

BTW D found it

JoeCanuk,

Whoops .... DS-156k, right? Thanks for catching me on that.

I often do point to Google for items that can be found with a simple querry there in much less time than it takes to write a post to VJ. But speaking of getting help from VJ, take a look at the downloads section. You could have found it there also.

I think at this point you've gotten the answer to your initial question - several answers, in fact, from which you can chose the one that suits you best. At this point we're all just sniping at each other so I am closing the thread.
