DS-156

[kennym 275]

All

I am a little confused regarding the completion of the DS-156.. In the Appointment package it says 2 copies for each family member including children..

We intend to have the child follow within 1 year of her mom.. Do I need to simply submit additional copies of the same form I completed for my fiancee or fill out a completely new DS-156 for her child? Her child is 8 years old..

Also, I hope you guys don't think this is extemely stupid, but does the child need a passport?

will there be a seperate visa in the childs passport?

Since we are submiting the DS-156K indicating the child will follow....,

Does she need to have her DS156 submitted at the same time as her mom?

Does the Visa Fee need to be paid at the same time or at a later time? when?

Just need a little clarification on how this actually works for her child..

Thanks again everyone...

The mom should fill 1 DS-156 and pay the associated fee and then print it 2 times

For the chld, it will say on the packet 4 the names of applicants that need to fill the form but my guess is he need to fill a form too.

How is the child supposed to travel at a different time from the mom without his/her own passport ? so my guess is he/she need one and ASAP because they ask for the passport # on form DS-156

that's kinda of my thoughts.

Simce our plan is for her daughter to enter the US on the K2 Aproximately 6 months after her mom, do we need the permission from her father at our interview or when her daughter actually is ready to travel.

I think you will need both biological parents to go get a passport for a minor child, at least this is true in Mexico.

Sorry, I don't know how it goes for the permission to travel
