Question on DS-156

My fiance and I were going through the DS-156 quickly on MSN because he has to pay for time on a library computer, which is the only way he can use a printer. Yes, the mistake was my fault, I know this; I *did* read the Guides and Examples, but last week read somewhere (that I can no longer find) that for a K-1, the correct answer to Q.26. "How Long Do You Intend To Stay in The U.S.?" is "90 days", so that's what I e-mailed him last week and that's what was in my head when we were going through the form today. It's also my fault I didn't send him printouts of the example forms, and that I was looking at the same page he was looking at today instead of the Example one. My question is what to do about it *now*.

He has printouts of the DS-156, and they have the barcode, so it was submitted. But for Q.26 it says "90 days" instead of "Permanently". I'm guessing it would be wrong to add anything handwritten to that section now, clarifying that he intends to stay 90 days on K-1 visa but to adjust status after marriage and stay permanently? (Wrong because the consulate already has the submitted data.)

So should he do a new one when he can, print out *that* barcode, and just ignore that this first one was ever submitted? (There's no question asking have you ever *Applied* for a U.S. Visa, only have you ever been *Issued* one or has one been *Revoked*.)

Or, is "90 days" an acceptable answer for Q.26 and he should just leave it be and if asked say that he intends to stay no more than 90 days on the K-1, but to adjust status after we're married and stay permanently?

Nevermind; found it's ok to redo the form and use the new barcode.

Just FYI - The forms aren't "submitted", they just generate a barcode. The reason it's done that way is so if you're doing it for multiple people in your family, you select that option and it will generate the same code for the family.
