Forms in English

Hey there, first time I post a thread in this forum. Based on your experience, do you know if it will be bad for me if I take to the US embassy here in Bogotá my DS-156, DS-157 and DS-158 forms in english? They have nice fillable forms in the US Dept. of State website, that you just fill out using your computer and you print them right away. The thing is that those forms are in English, so should I fill them in English or give the answers in spanish, or should I do everything in English? The thing is that my hand writing is not very readable, and there's not much room in those forms for everything they ask you to write on them.

Thanks a lot for your advice!

we applied for and recieved our K-1 visa with English forms. And I filled out some of the forms on my computer also with no problems. Don't forget...it's a "United States" consulate. English is the first lanuage. Don't worry.

I've heard that either English or Spanish will be fine. I believe there is more room to write in the English version though.

We did it with english forms as well And we wrote with blue ink instead of black. Then in the Drs office and the bank they wanted to make us change them for spanish forms written in black, we didnt do it because we thought it was ridiculous (wont they speak english at the US embassy????).

We got our visa without problem and have been happily married for 3 months.
