They send it to everyone. Yes I'm sure.

Incidentally, you send that form back with the DS-230 and packet 3 contents, if they needed it you would have gotten a letter. You don't take the DS-157 to the interview....

YES

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

Where are you getting this information from?

different Embassys can have different requirements. we're going thru Manila where both male and female submit the DS-157. Just like if we post a question about CFO, if you're not going thru Manila, you might ask Huh?

This statement in not true and not applicable across the board. The site provided and the exact statement concerning the DS-157 says the DS-157 is now required for all males between 16-45... the word "ONLY" is not in their at all and it is required for Manila. Ken

First off, best of luck juliekins! I have emailed the Abu Dhabi consulate twice now, and always recieved a quick and helpful response. You could probably do the same, inquiring with them about the questionable form, and what they require with regards to support documentation.

You will do fine! :yes: I can understand your nervousness though.

Hmm . .must be a UK thing, because they require all applicants fill one out in the Philippines. And the info on your link seems to be dated 2002.
