DS-260 Form?

[lewisandmike 4]

Hey guys,

I just got my letter from the London embassy saying that I need to go to the website included to continue on with the process. Luckily, we have already completed it all including the medical - however, I just noticed that the website says,

"Step 1 - Complete the application Form DS-260 for each family member applying for a visa. You should enter your immigrant visa case number and, in place of an invoice number, your date of birth in the following format YYYYMMDD. The form is accessed by clicking on this link. Once submitted, you must make a note of your application number. As your application is being processed through the Immigrant Visa Unit in London, you should not submit any documents to the NVC. "

Can anyone help us out with this one? I think this is the first time we have ever seen or heard of the DS-260. Also, I logged onto the website, and it asked for my invoice ID number from the NVC....?

Does anyone have any info on this?

Thanks!!

The NVC should have given/assigned your petition a case number and that's what you will need. Either that or the case number assigned to your petition by the USCIS which is the receipt number that came with your NOA1.

Thank you for your reply.

I thought that all k1 couples needed the DS-160, which we did...we've never heard of this form. Is this required also?

I believe it is Consulate specific... see this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/453216-ds-260-for-k-1-visa/

You are a K1 and your form is DS-160. Your instructions on the London embassy website are here http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html

Positive.

A K-1 applicant only files the DS-160. There is a London guide here on VJ> http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

And the instructions from the London website > http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html

No, it is NOT consulate specific. ALL K-1 applicants fill out the DS-160. You have linked to an old thread, and it was basically only Juarez that needed the DS-260 even for K-1 applicants back a few years ago. Since Oct. 7, 2013, ONLY the DS-160 is to be used for K-1 applicants, no matter what consulate they go through. > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/465391-so-confused-ds230ds160/?p=6646410

Not to be rude, but if you do not know an answer, then please refrain from answering with guesses or some random info you find in a quick search. You have posted several answers with incorrect misinformation, and this is the second one I have seen you post an old outdated thread to. I assume you are just trying to help, but it is not really helpful to anyone to post confusing, incorrect info.

It is not consulate specific. DS-260 is for immigrant visas like spouse CR1 visas.

Your fiancé instructions are on the London website here http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html

It says complete the DS-160

Perhaps somebody sent you the spouse letter by mistake. It has happened before.
