Just fill in each form completely to the best of your ability. When you do AOS, you'll repeat information again.

The DS-157 was previously only for men of a certain age group and women from a couple of countries. I've forgotten the ages, but basically ages where you could serve in the military--18 to ??) In 2008 my fiance didn't even do one because he was a male older than the upper age limit. Sometime (maybe 2009??) London started asking for the form from everybody.

The DS-157 information given alerts the consulate if they need to do additional security checks. Things they look for might be travel to predominantly Muslim countries in the last 10 years, military service for certain nationals, and specialized skills or training in certain technologies with potential “dual-use” applications. So I guess they want to know if you've worked in a munitions factory or have skills and resources for building bio-chemical weapons. List your nursing as a skill, but it's a common training to the general public and won't cause further investigation.

Thank you Nich Nick, this is very helpful so i make a copy of all forms in readiness for the AOS process. One thing that is bothering me is that I worked in Saudia Arabia as a nurse for almost 9 plus years in the past, on your response you mentioned that travelling to a Muslim country can be of concern for the immigration process will i be red flaged, we are awaitng the NOA2 after my fiance forgot to answer one question on the i-129f application they have recieved the RFE but we are etill waiting, my fiance is going to call them after the Labor Day Holiday to findout what is going on. :blush:

If you weren't born in the UK there is more chance to be put in AP (additional processing) after the interview. It has happened to a number of people but it's never explained why or how long it will take. Many were 4-8 weeks that I knew.

Here's a website where I got some of that additional security check buzz. It's not an official government site, just somebody providing information to mainly businessmen. But a K visa applicant can also be run through those same checks if something in their application ticks the right boxes. It's classified mainly so we can only speculate. I have no clue if you will have additional processing (security checks) after the interview, but you shouldn't buy plane tickets or tie down wedding plans if after reading this link you think it's a maybe.

Thanks for the information, never knew such information was available. I was born in the West Indies of British Citizen , lived in England since the age of 9 years, life is strange , one does not know what one has to go through on one,s journey in life but who knew that when i decided to working abroad that it would cause problems later when i fell in love with an American. I pray that we donot face much problems with this immigration lark, we have been real strong so far after 7 plus years together., i guess its in the hands of GOD. Previously they did investigate my working abroad, when we had submitted the I-129f.
