DS-156 (MONTREAL)

[evergreen 0]

We are completing the DS-156, and have some questions! Some of the questions on the form do not seem to apply to those who are seeking an I129F/K3 visa. I am worried about answering these questions the wrong way and possibly having my husband's visa denied.

Question 22: When do you intend to arrive in the U.S.? It asks for a specific date - but all we know is that he intends to arrive in the U.S. after his visa is issued.

Question 25: Name and telephone numbers of persons in U.S. who you will be staying with or visiting for tourism or business? He will be staying with me - but not for tourism or business - and not for a visit - but for the maximum amount of time allowed under an I129F/K3 until either an I130 visa is issued or he applies for adjustment of status.

Question 26: How long do you intend to stay in the U.S.? He plans to stay indefinitely, but if we put that on our application what will happen?

Question 27: What is the purpose of your trip? It's not really a trip, it's a move, to be with his spouse.

Question 28: Who will pay for your trip? Again, it's not a trip - but since he has to quit his job to move here, I will be supporting him.

Question 37: Do you intend to work in the U.S.? Yes, he does - but not without a work permit. But if we answer yes, will it cause problems in getting the visa? And if we answer no, will it cause problems getting a work permit later?

Question 38: Do you intend to study in the U.S.? Again, he hopes to go back to school eventually, but will answering yes cause them to question or deny his K3 visa?

Question 36: Has anyone ever filed an immigrant visa petition on your behalf? Of course, because an I130 is required in order to apply for the K3!

Thanks so much! We're afraid to complete the form because of the negative experiences we've had at the border!

I've been looking at the form too and though I have no answers for you - I sure as hell share all your questions!!! I asked a number of them a while back and here is a link to my very long post. Many of the questions were answered well.

1. When can we expect "packet 3" from the consulate for either our I129?

2. What else do we need other than the DS-156 and the actual medical exam?

3. Do we bring $100 U.S. cash to Montreal, or a U.S. money order/cashier's check? Cash

4. We already have a medical exam scheduled. Can my husband attend the exam without packet three? We have our case number, but no letter from the consulate. Dr. Seiden office will ask for the letter as soon as you walk in the door.
