Not needed for the K-1. Be sure to read what's required for the K-1 visa on the Embassy's site: http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

Also, be sure to read the pinned thread for K-1s in prep for the interview day: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

You might have read it from somebody getting a spouse visa. And somebody from Germany told me it's in their embassy instructions for K1s to do part 2. You can throw it in the bin because a K1 in London will not need it.

I was asked for it at my interview not just for me but also my Daughter who is traveling with me, someone else was also asked for it the same week as me, fortunately we had them ... if I were you I'd take it just in case!!!

How weird. I think the interviewer was mixed up. Maybe print their k1 instructions to take??

Even the Big Cheese (Dept of State) says it's not a K1 form. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html#6

You, the foreign-citizen fiancé(e), (and eligible children applying for K-2 visas) will be required to bring the following forms and documents to the visa interview:

Two (2) Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (prepared in duplicate). NOTE: K-1/K-2 visa applicants should not fill in Form DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application

One (1) Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application, Form DS-156K

One (1) Application For Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, Form DS-230, Part I (You are not required to complete Part II.)

Yep Nich-Nick I know we shouldn't have needed them, I had a tip off from someone else that was asked that week for it so I thought I'd play it safe and take them, I'm glad I did! I do know of a couple of others that had interviews the same week and they weren't asked. I certainly wouldn't want to risk upsetting the CO by highlighting the fact that they are not needed, just figured it was better to go along with it and not make a fuss. Its no biggie to fill them out and take them.

I wasn't asked for it today

I had to fill it out on the day, at the interview window because I to was in the understanding that I didn't need it. This was only 2 weeks ago.
