DS230 Part 1? or both parts?

Hi Guys,

my Fiance in the States just received NOA2 a couple days ago and I am getting ready to gather documents and Info for the embassy in Frankfurt. I came across something confusing, it states to complete form DS-230 and somwhere else it says DS-230 part 1. If I look at the DS230, the part 1 is the Biographic Data and Part 2 is "Sworn Statement". What do i sent to them? Will I only need to fill out and sent Part 1 which are the first 2 Pages?

Also on DS-156, question 26 "how long do you intend to stay in the US", question 32 "do you intend to work in the US (list full adress of employer ect)" what do i check there? of course I intend to stay forever and also intend to work after we are married and I do the AOS... and as they ask for duplicate version of this form, do i glue my Picture in the Original and copy the whole thing or do i make 2 complete forms?

The Information about what to send and what to bring with me to the Interview vary a lot, do I just sent EVERYTHING? or do i really just sent the required forms and take the rest with me to the Interview (birth certificate, Police record, proof of relationship)?

Getting a little overwhelming here right now because i want to do everything super correct :(

Thanks for any Help!

Frankfurt Embassy specific info:

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Germany&cty=Frankfurt

DS-230 part I: fill out the first 2 pages and send in. When you go to the interview, bring another original signed copy with part I and part II.

DS-156 questions:

How long do you intend to stay? PERMANENTLY

When do you intend to arrive? Put a tentative date or say soon after visa approval

What is the purpose of your trip? MARRIAGE AND RELOCATION TO THE USA

Do you intend to work in the US? WITH WORK AUTHORIZATION, EMPLOYER UNKNOWN

Do you intend to study in the US? Yes, not sure of school yet or No.

Make two copies of each form and sign each form.

Thank you very much! I wasnt sure if the Questions with how long i would stay could cause some problems since on paper the K1 is a non-immigrant Visa. Thats where i got confused!?

hm. i have that site with the Info for the Frankfurt embassey but where do you see that its required to bring part I and II to the Interview? I just dont see it but maybe im too blind lol. Copies will be made anyways, i think i'll just take everything with me and whatever they want i'll have ready :)

It doesn't say on there that you need to bring both parts to the interview, but my fiance did for his interview. It's better to bring more than less. In addition to whatever your Embassy requires for forms, you also need to bring this stuff to the interview:

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

Thanks so far! I have another Question to DS-230

Question 14 to 25. It asks for "Spouse Family/Maiden name" and Fathers and Mothers name and information. Well, do i leave that out? Because I apply for a K1 Visa and dont have a Spouse yet, technically. Or will I fill in my fiancés information and the names of her parents? Sorry for all my questions, again, i just want to make no mistakes!

Under spouse info put N/A or NA, but you need to fill our her parents information.

I also have a question about this.

When you fill out the DS-230 part I, it says you need to fill out a copy for each family member immigrating with you regardless of age. My 7 month old son already has a US passport as he has dual citizenship, do I still need to do this for him as the K-1 visa is just for myself? I know this probably is a dumb question but an answer would be appreciated.

Thanks.
