for sputum exam

[you&meforever 2]

good day vj world!

i had my medical exam this week but unfortunately i was told to undergo a sputum exam. on my DS-156 form i already put Aug. 16 as my intended arrival date (US) but my sputum exam results will be on the 3rd week of Sept. so hopefully if it turns out negative, my interview date will likely be around early Oct. if i got an earlier available slot and that means i won't be able to go on the intended date of arrival i put on my form. my question is should i change my DS-156 form or just present the original one even if it states there that Aug. 6 is my intended date of arrival? if i should change it, are we allowed to generate or fill-up more than once for the DS-156? i hope somebody can give me an idea. TIA

you can fill up another DS 156 , with the correct information. it would be better if you do this after you pass the medical exam

Do a new form. And you can put "unknown" for arrival date, after all the embassy stressed to not book any flights until you have your visa in hand, so they do not expect a date in that box.

Wording on the form is " (Provide specific date if known) " , its not an issue to put unknown in that box.
