DS 156 Form

[vyx 1]

So our interview is coming up pretty soon, we have Marc Ellis's office look over our paper work one more time. This one particular form, DS 156, I disagree with how the office want to change a few answers on it.

For Question 32 (Do you intend to work in the U.S): My answer to that is Yes and employer is unknown (same as the answer here on Visajourney’s guide). However, Marc Ellis's office said that it needs to be answer as "No", because K1 is a non-immigration visa, and the consulate could use that against it. I guess it’s the legal/terminology of lawyer talking here.

It’s still up to me at the end of the day what to submit. And I’ll be attending my fiancée interview too. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

You can answer yes to that question, because the interviewer knows full well that anyone entering the country with a K-1 does so with the intention to stay and AOS after marriage. So it is fair to say that you do intent to live and work in the US as soon as you are authorized to do so, legally. In other words, at this point, there is no hindrance in admitting that you have every intention to immigrate and establish residence in the US.

Marc's office knows best when it comes to that form.. Answer no.. that does not mean that she cant work. just that the intent is not to come to work.. if they ask. she can say that at some point she will work, but it will take some time to adjust to the US and maybe take some english classes to help with the adjustment...
