i have read a lot about the forms to be filled up with k1 visa processing both from US Embassy Manila and travel.state.gov.....

i find it a bit conflicting about the DS 160.....

the Manila Embassy says:

DS-160 ONLINE NONIMMIGRANT VISA ELECTRONIC APPLICATION – All applicants must complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application. Applicants can access the DS-160 from the Consular Electronic Application Center website.

but the travel.state.gov states:

•Two (2) Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (prepared in duplicate). NOTE: K-1/K-2 visa applicants should not fill in Form DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application

we are just waiting for our NOA2 (touched nov. 17) and after we get our MNL number from NVC, i will be setting up date of my interview at the USEM.....

i have prepared DS156, 156K and 157(?).... do i need other forms?????

thanks for the help.....

I'm not really sure, but if you're planning on interviewing in Manila I'd suggest doing what they say. You may even call them and get clarification concerning the conflicting information/directions. Their number is Tel: 63-2-301-2000.

NO, you have all the forms that you need. DS 160 does not apply to K1. If you read further down on the US Embassy Manila site, you will see that it's saying that K1's are exempted from DS160. It's also on the FAQ's section.
