For a K-3 visa -

Package 3 from Montreal has a page asking you to complete the DS-156 on your computer and print it out. At the end of the paragraph it asks you to complete DS-156K. Does this mean we're filling out 2 forms?

The DS-156K is a "supplement" to the DS-156. So, if the embassy asks for both, then you must complete both. From my review of the DS-156K, it is primarily for K-1 visa beneficiaries...and the embassy in Colombia does not require it. However, the embassy in Canada apparently wants it. It should only take you a few minutes to complete it. Better to have it ready, even if they don't ultimately ask for it at the interview.
