Tater/####### I know they were phasing out the DS156 and replacing it by teh DS160 so if yours didnt mention it then maybe it is not needed. Mine clearly asked for it as well as the DS156K my packet 3 letter was dated July 2 2010

If she does not want to be border bound in the US while paperwork is pending then K1 is not the answer as she would not be able to leave the US after the wedding before receiving either her green card or advanced parole (which in my case was a quick 2 months but it could be MUCH longer). Plus if you have already planned the Sept wedding there is no guarantee you would get this visa in time and for teh K1 the wedding would have to be in the USA and she would have to enter as your fiance and get married within 90 days of entering US on the K1 visa, since this is a one time entry visa she could not leave until like I said before she has her advanced parole or green card...
It looks like you would want to do the CR1 route, you get married when you want (not sure if it matters which country or not) and then you file the paperwork so that as soon as she crosses into the US (with proper paperwork) she is a permanent resident immediately and can come and go as she wishes (as long as its not for extended periods of time)

I don't mind when it is....it can be the end of Nov beg of Dec and I will be happy...I jsut want to know WHEN it is ...so that I can start figuring out everythign else in my life...as K-1's there's bridal showers , bachelorette parties...let alone planning the weddign itself..and if i don't know the date we cant book anything.....AHHH I hate this waiting game.....

I agree with coconuts.
