DS 156 technical error?

[rosy_bb 0]

Hi everyone,

I think I would have lost all grip on sanity through this process if it wasn't for visajourney....! Thanks for your help so far.

I'm trying to get ready for my interview at the London embassy - we haven't received Packet 3 yet, but I've read that the forms can be sent off before it arrives, as long as we have a case number (my fiance is tracking that down now).

All the other forms on http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html are downloadable PDFs, but DS156 has to be filled in online before you can print it. After filling in the form, when I click "continue" it goes to a warning screen claiming there is a "corrupted content error" and loses the form.

I've found a PDF version at http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/forms/visa/index.htm.

My question is whether any other users have had a similar problem, and whether the printable PDF version will be acceptable. The questions are the same, but I don't want to use an out-of-date or "unsuitable" form.

Thanks! Rosy

The DS156 must be filled out online, so it can generate the bar code that you will need. did you try it from this source https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp ? If not you should. Also internet explorer has shown the best results with this.

You're absolutely right - doesn't work in Firefox, but did (eventually) using Internet Explorer.

Frustrating!

Thanks for your help.
