The DS260 is for an Iimmigrant Visa - the fiance visa is a non-immigrant visa. The form for a fiancee is DS 156k and DS 156 http://www.state.gov...ation/82063.pdf

I just found this: the DS 260 is for "family based" immigrant visas, not for fiance visas. Here's the link to explain that the DS 260 is for those who has filed I-130 petitions.

If your Consulate requires this form, then write in Fiancee. Writing in Spouse for someone who isn't a spouse may cause you problems later on either for misrepresentation or by saying that spouse's are not eligible for a K-1 visa. Better to go with what is accurate even if you have to write it in later - or at the very least find somewhere on the form where you can state fiancee, not spouse.

This is an impossible form since you can not WRITE in anything in this particular field...it is a DROPDOWN MENU...no choice of Fiancee is given.

we finally put in spouse...

SUPER FRUSTRATING!

I know it is very frustrating because it does not give us any other option in the dropdown menu. Do you guys know any number to call???

for some reason they are using DS 260 rather than DS 230... I also noticed the introduction of the DS160 at many consulates .. the fact that it is an E form makes it impossible to select an accurate title....

How frustrating! It sounds like your problems are being caused by the Consulate using a form for a purpose it was not designed to do.

the DS 160 is equaly poorly designed

yes, I did that and have read several VJ members that did it too. It should not be a problem at all!
