Question

Do you need fillup separate DS156 and DS157 for wife also for H1B stamping?

Answer 1

Probably not. But it depends a bit on what country she's from. Check the embassy website for the consular section to see if this might apply at usembassy.state.gov.

Answer 2

yes, separate DS156 and DS157

Answer 3

If you are asking whether a dependent wife needs to apply for her own visa, and fill out her own application forms, the answer is yes.

Answer 4

A DS 157 would not be required for your wife. Your wife would be exempt. You both need a separate DS 156.

A Form DS-157 is also known as the Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application.

It is only for males between 16-45 years and all applicants born in/or citizens of Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan, and Syria.
