Is the DS-3032 same as DS-261? Never heard of that form in the IR/CR process...

get immigrant visa
get ssn card and green card
get employment authorization - not required
file I-751, petition to remove the conditions of residence (before 2nd year expires upon entry)
become a US citizen


Thank you Visajourney!

I think you are sending in the wrong form.

DS-261 is required for the country of Jordan. Not DS-3032.

Read here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_5164.html

Is the DS-3032 same as DS-261? Never heard of that form in the IR/CR process...

Visa applicants will be interviewed at any U.S. Embassy/Consulate listed below:
  • Canada - Montreal
  • Greece - Athens
  • Jordan - Amman
  • Iraq - Baghdad
  • Lima - Peru

These are the only places that require the DS-261 to my knowledge. Maybe a few of the other E-filers might have to have it i.e China and Mexico. I am not 100% sure though.

For China, regardless of whether or not EP is opted for, it's the DS-3032 that is utilized.

It definitely looks like some issue with DS-3032 - why don't you just do the online DS-261! It may help is generating the DS-260 Fee Bill.

You don't lose anything if you fill it online. it will update the choice of agent.maybe in this way the system will pick it up and activate the DS260

But make sure you use the BID not the IIN when you fill the DS261.
