K1 DS160 form Urgent help.

[shell20 746]

If any one has recently filled in a DS160 form online for the K1 visa please help me. The situation is that my lawyer wants to fill in the form online, on my behalf she is asking questions that I am not sure are irrelevant to this form.. I.e all the places I have lived since I was 16. I can't remember what I did yesterday, never mind what I was doing 32 years ago an I am getting increasingly stressed about it. Obviously, if I need to answer the questions regarding that I will do, but she has already made me fill out a DS156 and then told me I didn't need to do that. So please, please I would be eternally grateful for any info regarding this form.

Thanks in advance.

The form sd160 dont ask for 10 years ago, only the las 5 years.

Why your lawyer want to know about where you live from you were 16?

I have seen the form sd160 and doesnt ask for things like that.

Sorry, it should have read "relevant", see I am getting stressed about it. As if I don't have enough on my plate right now with work, a close relative being poorly, decorating and Christmas. THANK YOU Ilovemyman for your advice, its appreciated. We have paid for a lawyer who should know the current forms and here I am getting advice from visajourney. Without all your great advice, I would be filling out needless questions. I wouldn't mind, but I said to my lawyer would my enhanced CRB check be ok from work for the police check? I was told yes and then I looked it up here and its a ACPO police check I need. Thank God for visa journey!!

Hi VJers,

I'm in the process for a K1 visa for my fiancee, and right now we have been approved . I sent the I129F application with all the support for I134 ( Affidavit of Support), i meant, my pay-stubs, my employer's letters ( cuz i have 2 jobs), my tax returns for the last 2 years. My concern is that should i have to send recent pay-stubs or update the I134 to my fiancee or the ones in the package will be enough for the interview.

Thank you and May God Help everyone of you in their respective Immigration Journey.

Second thread in 2 days where I've seen someone with their lawyer asking for more than they need.

If it's anything like the lawyer we had (and fired) it's because they just use this *one* questionnaire for *all* of their clients (some of which do need to know everywhere they've lived since age 16). It's so frustrating. The amount of useless information you end up having to dig up.

Sorry for the no-information comment - it just makes me really grumpy. I feel for you!

I wouldn't mind, but we engaged this lawyer because we were going to marry in the USA. We were advised under NO circumstances to do that! It was like we were criminals plotting a bank raid or something, but all we wanted to do was be together. Is that a crime?

Then we were told the K1 visa was MUCH better than a spouse's visa. Pondering upon it, I really don't know if that was about money now!

Following this revelation, we were told that I needed to fill out a form, a DS156, if I remember correctly. I did just that! Only to be asked why did I fill this form? Hmm, let me think because you sent it me perhaps?!?!

Then, at a latter date, I had a query about the police check for our lawyer," Can I use my enhanced CRB from work?" I was told that my work one would suffice! I read this forum and apparently, my work one will not suffice, I need to have a special immigrant police check., I thought beyond the box, I have sent for it!

Anyway, to dig the knife in a bit more, I was sent an email last month after my noa2 had arrived and advised to fill in a DS260,, Upon querying the forms I had a reply saying it might be a DS260 or 160 that we need. . I just threw the towel in at that point, admitted defeat and retreated not replying /

Today, I have been emailed what seems to be a DS260 questionnaire. I give in!.. Personally I want to terminate their services right now, but as my fiance quite rightly pointed out the embassy will expect a correspondence from our lawyers as our lawyers are our FPC, but seemingly the first point of incompetency too.

Hey ho, so the confusion begins! Lol

We began the process with a lawyer but I binned them once our file got to London. They had given us so much bad and wrong advice and was really condescending to me. He kept telling me to keep off the internet and researching our situation. I told him that if I didn't do that, I wouldn't know anything! Getting rid of him did not cause us any problems at all. He wanted to charge another $500 for the AOS forms but I did them myself (well - I got my husband's signature on the I-864!). We didn't get an RFE and I got my EAD/AP in 2 months. Still waiting for my 2 year Green Card but I think we're in the 'interview waiver' pile.

The worst thing our lawyer told us was that as soon as we applied for our K1, I would not be able to travel to the US until I had the K1 visa in my passport. It was only finding the VJ site that showed us that he was wrong. You might not get in but you can certainly travel.

Hi Anna,

Well last night it all exploded with the lawyer, resulting in a massive argument with my fiance and I. And the reason for this is because we asked should we be filling in addresses from when I was 16 years old. Apparently not, they don't seem to like the fact that we have researched and we have queried and so I am in the line of attack getting a rather venomous email, shifting the blame onto me and my fiance. My fiance and I are still as I speak arguing regarding it all. I feel miserable.

Hello shell20.. looks like your atty is thinking of how to get money from you.. k1 just need ds160 now. ( only form you need to fill out online ) and print the confirmation page and bring it with you during your interview...

She isn't after any money, we paid in advance. Right now my fiance and I are discussing it, we are both in shock that an atty can cause us to have such a bitter argument to the point we even mentioned splitting up. As for the DS160 I hope our lawyer isn't thinking of submitting it, it can only be done by myself if I even get to that stage now. I feel terrible, I hate fighting with my fiance, it hurts.
