Hello guys, I just recieved an email after submitting my case number to the embassy that they sent me the packet 3.5 in Feb 2013 via email (which I never recieved). They now sent me the email again stating:

Dear Applicant,

When I click on the forms section it does NOT show me form DS156 or DS156K. Instead it shows DS-160 which I learned that after 10/7/13 this is the new form that needs to be filled out and submitted online. I am the petetitioner (guy) in usa and she is my financee (in pakistan). Who has to fill out the DS-160? me? or her? I am applying for her to get a K1 Visa.

Also, how would I pay the visa Fee of $350 ? is that also done online?

Thanks, hope I can get some information.

According to the link below. The beneficiary fills out the form, but a third party can assist.
