DS-160 is an online form that generates the barcode.

You are a K-1 visa applicant, so you don't need to use the DS-160. Maybe you are trying to make an interview appointment in the wrong place. I think you are trying to use the immigrant page to book your appointment. Have you tried to make an interview appointment on the non-immigrant web page? That's where you should be.

DS-160 says not for K-1 visas. We didn't need it. I asked the same question.

It's so confusing sometimes. Good Luck!

The bar code is from the 156 You do not need the 160

K-Visas use DS-156, not DS-160.

This online one generates a special bar-code: https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp

The Manila Embassy and ustraveldocs sites both say that the DS-160 is required for all non-immigrant visas. This is not the case for non-immigrant K visa. I wish they would clarify this on their websites somewhere but the only place that says it is not required is on the DS-160 FAQ section of the US Department of State website. Pretty confusing if you ask me.

thank you! it accepted the barcode from the 156. but when i tried entering a password, it won't go through. is there a specific password they have assigned that im not aware of? im sorry i have too many questions..

If you read further/look at the powerpoint presentation, it does clarify the K-1 doesn't use the 160. They should mention that a bit earlier though.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think DS-160 is required to all non-immigrant visa applicants except those non-immigrant applicants who are instructed to use DS-156.

K1 DS forms to be submitted...DS 156, DS 156K & DS 157. You will submit this before you get your number at check in together with your appointment letter, letter from US Embassy (Packet 3), and BPI Receipt.

No DS 160 for K1 filers!
