I've seen some peeps pick up at the embassy. All were when the petitioner attended.

When arrive in the US? Within 6 months of receiving visa. Better to redo online and print out 2 more.

Prepare the form. Put your name. or Self.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

You can put a month and a year for that. It just an assumption so dont worry. Use black pen in filling out forms. Leave it blank on question # 40.Pirma mo agad sa # 41. Hope it is clear now to you.

You can pick up the visa if you want.

For your information and others. If you print the DS 156 or any part of it by hand the information doesn't go into the barcode and USEM has to physically put the info into your case paperwork. MUCH better to do it online and print out 3 copies.

It's very rare for USEM to allow a pinay to pick up their visa. Doesn't hurt to try tho. I already answered your other questions.

If you leave blanks the guard may make you go to the back of the line and fill nthem in!
