No Glue, put them in a plastic bag for protection. Attach them to form via a paper clip. Make sure to put name as per the instructions.

Good luck

Hello,

My fiancee already filled out the two forms 156. She is asking me whether or not she should glue her pictures to these forms? or if the pictures are taken to the interview and then attached to those forms?

Anyboy?

Thank you

When in doubt, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS !!!! If it doesn't say to affix the photos to the forms....there is your answer. :thumbs: Another good source of information about assembling forms is in the GUIDES section, located at the top of the forum page.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

The instructions on the form say to Glue or staple the picture... but I know that somewhere aloing the line I read about not doing that.... I just trying to double check...

It's really not a big deal. If you are in doubt, don't affix them to the paper with anything, and send them in a little bag... they will do it for you.

That's what I did with mine and there was no issue whatsoever good.gif

I used monkey snot :D What's that called in English? Sticky tack, I think(appreciating my husband for understanding bad Danish translation). That way, the embassy was left to determine if they wanted to leave it as that or glue/tape/staple the onto the form.

I emailed the Vancouver consulate about that - they have you fax the form in before they schedule your interview, so I asked whether I should attach the photo for the fax or not. They said attaching it for the fax was unnecessary. I gave them the photos at the interview. I don't know if they attached them to the original form after.

Hi all,

Another "stupid" question on the K-1 process. I have my interview on August 22nd.

I will bring all forms required. So I made a copy of the DS-156 to have two copies.

Now on the DS-157, the last section asks if you made any travel arrangement. I did (for air ticket cost obvioulsy).

Would it be an issue during the interview?

And I guess putting No would be dumb as it would be so easy for them to check with my passport number.
