Latest DS-230

[Hudson and Asami 0]

Hello all. We've been trying to get all the paperwork together for filling out the DS-230, and we finally did. However, we noticed that the expiration date of the newest DS-230 (http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/81807.pdf) is today...(Japan time). The soonest we can send it out is tomorrow, but that will already make the form invalid, right? I can't find any new document anywhere on the Internet...if it was filled out before the 29th, and postmarked the 1st, is it still valid? What should we do? I already submitted the Affidavit of Support forms, and we'd like to get everything submitted as soon as possible...thank you for any help or insight.

forms dont become invalid until a new version is released and even then the old one might still be ok to use for a short while. plus you can only use the version that is available at the time of filing. dont worry about it... just send it in

Correct but it is not the form that expires, just the period for OMB to receive comments on it. See the OMB in the line with the expiration date.
