Confusion about DS-156 form (Juarez) [edited title]

[JRTLFlores 2]

I just noticed this says it expired May 31st. Is there another DS-156 form I can use? Also, it says nonimmigrant, so why would I have to fill this out? I was told my Mexican fiance would have to fill out both the DS-156 and the DS-156K.

Q: I just noticed this says it expired May 31st. Is there another DS-156 form I can use?

A: I'm in the same boat as you. I also need to fill out DS-156 and I also noticed it expired. Others on VJ have told me to use that form (May 31, 2011) as long as it's the current one on the government's website on the date of your interview. And no, I have looked and looked for a version that is not expired and have found NOTHING. I also submitted a request on their website to update form DS-156 and NOTHING has been done...yet.

Q: Also, it says nonimmigrant, so why would I have to fill this out?

A: Technically the K1 Visa (aka Fiance Visa) IS a "Nonimmigrant" visa even though your fiance is coming to the USA with the intention to stay (immigrate). This is what the gov't website says about Fiance Visas "The fiancé(e) K-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a United States (U.S.) citizen."

Q: I was told my Mexican fiance would have to fill out both the DS-156 and the DS-156K.

A: Yes, both DS-156 & DS-156K in duplicate. I made 3 copies of each just in case. DS-156K is NOT expired and really easy and fast to complete. Have your fiance fill it in and print at least TWO (2) copies. DON'T SIGN DS-156K until the consul says so.

BUENA SUERTE

Hola,

My Fiancé is filling out the DS 156K now as we speak. It says on the form he needs to provide a birth certificate for his son, however his son will not be traveling with him now or in the future as they have no contact. Is the birth certificate still necessary considering they have no contact and the son will not be traveling with him? I appreciate your help.

Regards,

Roma
