Need help filling out ds-260

[Liz&Nate 23]

Hello. I am trying to fill out my DS-260 form online but I have a couple of questions after I access the form that are troubling me. First off, maybe someone from Mexico can help me out, I have a Border Crossing Card and I can't find the number on it anywhere that fits in the visa number field. Second, I logged on as "Primary Applicant" and when I get to the part of "petitioner" I don't know whether to put "Self" since none of the other fields apply. Should my fiance just fill this out himself? This is very confusing!

Just for the information of people who have to go through this in Mexico, I ended up going to a couple of "form filling" services (very popular in CDJ) and got the following info for filling out the DS-260. I was told by most of them (went to 3, and mostly got a consensus) that this is supposed to be a fairly new thing (filling DS-260 online. One told me that this was an a form for an immigrant visa and I didn't need to file it, but he was obviously outdated). I ended up spending about 60 USD going to these people after going through the archives here, so maybe this will help someone else. It's a couple of common sense tidbits, but none of them seemed too obvious when I was trying to get through this.

-If you have a Border Crossing B1/B2 Visa (Laser visa) the number is on the back preceded by a "V" (This is for the new RFID chip visas). It's eight numbers and you should drop the "V".

-When filling out the petitioner part the consensus I got was that you fill it out as "spouse" and then add your fiance(e)'s info, even if applying for a K1 since you can't (obviously) be your own petitioner for K1 and none of the other options apply. One of the people I spoke to, said that he has seen people try to file as "self" because they are the primary applicant.

-This is probably common knowledge but to access the DS-260 you will need the NVC case number and the NVC invoice ID. The beneficiary ID will be needed once you start filling the form.
