Mistake on IV application:

[YulingZhu 4]

Good morning all,

My wife submitted the IV application electronicly without having me reviewing it first, and now I discovered there were several mistakes and one of them could be a critical one. Is there anyway to retract a submitted IV application?

Thank you,

YLZ

You can call the NVC and ask. Are you the beneficiary?

Whenever I have gone back to the CEAC site I have been able to look at the DS-260 and change the information entered. So maybe you can resubmit? Definitely call the NVC. Do not rely on an email. It took 60 days for them to let me know my address had been updated from an email inquiry.

You should call NVC and notify them or better still, you can correct it at the time of interview.

But usually, the DS-260 is locked after it was submitted. You'd have to call NVC and ask them to unlock it for you to edit it again. OP be warned that this would also change the receipt date to whenever you re-submit it. But yes, best case: you could just correct the mistakes at the interview if they let you OR your wife just filled out the DS-260 and saved it on the CEAC site without submitting it. Then you can still review and edit everything.

Thank you all,

The best case is to make the update, and since the consulate in China is always jam packed, I seriously doubt the interviewer would give her that opportunity................
