Regarding to DS-230

[cookiehigh 0]

Hello. Please allow me to post a new topic.

I have received a package from the american embassy in Tokyo yesterday and I learned that I need to provide them a copy of US visas if any.

I once had a student visa and it was attached to my old passport.... which I do not have anymore.

I was wondering what to do.

Since I will attach a cover letter when I send them DS-230, I can tell them that I don't have the copy (or original) of my student visa in my hands anymore. Do you think that would work? or if there is any other suggestions please tell me.

Also...I was wondering what they meant by complete DS-230 "online." It is PDF. I figured they wanted us to type it on our computer rather than handwrite it.

Or am I understanding it wrong?

Thanks!!!!

Regarding the DS-230, the DOS instructions seem relatively self-explanatory, fill it in online. print, sign, and submit it at the CO interview. Remember, you need to use the latest version of Adobe Reader.

Good luck.

I see. ok. I think I wasn't familiar with the concept of "fill it in online."

When I hear it, to me it sounds like there is an online form (like when you do online-shopping you know? where you put all your info and click "submit" at the end- type of deal) rather than PDF.

Also I am talking about K1 visa. I need to fill this in and return it by mail immediately... not at the interview.

Thanks though! I also need to know what to do with my old student visa....

Can't really help, unfortunately, but do you have your I-20? Maybe that helps....

Good luck with your process.

Where does it say "complete online'? I printed the DS-230 and filled it in by hand, I didn't have any problem. It's not a PDF.

Why don't you have your old passport? I suggest you just make a note as to why you don't have the old passport with the visa in it. Shouldn't be a problem
