Does anyone know what a ds 160 is and if I need it. I went on the US Conslate website and this is what I found.

Important notice

Beginning October 22, 2008, all applicants applying for nonimmigrant visas in Montreal and Vancouver must use the new DS-160 application form, which is accessible on https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/.

After completing the new DS-160, the applicant will electronically submit the application and will be providedwith a confirmation page that includes only limited biographical information and a bar code. Applicants must bring this confirmation page with them to their interview. Please note: if the online application has not been completed fully and properly the applicant’s case cannot be processed and a new interview appointment will be required.

This first pilot version of the DS-160 will only be available in English. Future versions will allow the user to see translations of the site in other languages, including French.

When you love someone from the bottom of your heart; so much that you are willing to give your life for your loved one, time and distance takes a backseat. Only love prevails. And with love in your hearts you can overcome anything.

I needed it - it was on my list from Packet 3 - but I am applying for a K1.

That copy and paste from the Embassy Info that you linked - it says right under the list of forms:

If you filed for CR-1, only DS-230.

So... I'm guessing you just need DS-230?..... :\ I don't know anything about CR-1's so I don't want to say for sure, but that's how I read it.

Thanks Wyatt.
