Department of State Transitions to DS-160 for K Visa Applications

Effective immediately, all K visa applicants are required to complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. The DS-160 replaces forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230.

For K visa cases already in process at a U.S. embassy or consulate, the DS-160 is not required when, prior to October 7, 2013, one of the following situations exist:

The K visa applicant is already scheduled for an interview.

The K visa applicant has already been interviewed and has been requested to submit additional documentation or is pending administrative processing.

The K visa applicant has already submitted a valid, signed, unexpired DS-156, DS-156K and/or DS-230 or received instructions to do so.

Bishop, I don't think we need to do that according to the instruction because we were mailed packet 3 before 10/07. And they already accepted our DS-230

As of 10/07 once your case is received by the embassy this is what you complete online. Replaces DS-230, DS-156,156k and 157. K1 will no longer use DS-260 either. This will only be used by NVC FOR I-130 visa applicants.

Was told the same, only they said sold have one by next weekend. Did the date of your status changed on 10/08 like mine did?

I thought the change in date meant that they had scheduled an interview, but boy was I wrong. Don't know why the date changed.

The communication with the Kingston is very poor. You don't even have a number to call and talk to someone live on status of your application. The email option sucks. And the CEAC site don't tell you anything specific about your case.
