DS-156k UHG!!!

[Soneshka 0]

So I've been helping my fiancé fill out his papers from the packet three, and the DS-156 was done electronically on the governments website. But the DS-156k pdf file on the gov's website is all... glitchy. It has "undefined" written in all sorts of slots and none of it makes any sense. I thought maybe that was put there on purpose but clearly this is not the case since the example form here on vj is without these things. Here's a link to the page...

I don't know what to do since this is the only place I can find with the up to date version of this form i.e. 2010. Can I just fill it out like this, will the visa officer not take the form like this even though it was like this on their site? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Sophie,

Yes it is in PDF file and i had fill DS-156K too. And i had same problem as you.So i did Save As on my PC and fill it like that, so it was ok. So only DS-156 form you will fill online because there will be bar code after printed it.

Good luck to you guys!!!!

I was having the same prob! Are you using Google Chrome? I tried getting it using Firefox, and it worked.

I remember reading that Google Chrome messes up some of the forms, especially the barcode on the DS-156. If you use chrome, try saving it to desktop, if that doesn't work, access the site without chrome to get the form.

Uscis Nvc etc all recommend you do the paperwork in Internet Explorer. Most of mine either goofed in chrome or firefox..heck even the ds 160 messed up in IE. but i had less problems with them using IE.

Thank you everyone for your help! After updating my adobe I still had the same issue, but when I open the file using internet explorer instead of google chrome the file worked perfectly! Thank you for the suggestion.
