The #$%&&* DS160 Form

[Fibbidiboo 0]

My fiancee (the beneficiary, from Ontario) is trying to prepare the packet 3 and she, like many others, cannot get the thing to print anything but the confirmation. It just won't do it. Is it because she's on a Mac? Or because she's using the Firefox browser? In researching this site I see that some have only brought the confirmation page to the interview which makes sense since they have all the data stored online anyway. Others don't agree. During her trials and tribulations she started over and filled out the whole form again thinking that maybe a new one would allow her to print. No dice. So we are back to square one and I told her to just send in the confirmation page with a letter of explanation of what happened in case they see two different (but the same) DS160's for her.

Any thoughts?

It has a lot to do with the browser! I was using Firefox and it wouldn't co-operate and then I read somewhere that DS-160 is compatible with IE so I used IE and go through it. She needs to print the "entire" form as well as the confirmation page. Send one copy with P-3 and carry one to the interview.

I had tons issues getting it to work. Definitely use Internet Explorer, and I recommend downloading version 8 if you dont already have it.

Good luck!

Had to use internet explorer myself...didn't even bother on my mac due to the recommendations on the MTL Consulate Portal regarding the DS-160 form.

I did notice that I had to be very quick about printing out the confirmation and the forms...did not have time to send an email version as the page had already timed out...
