DS 260 Invoice Number is wrong?

[seatolba 20]

My fiance and I are finishing up the last steps before scheduling his interview with the US Embassy in London. He's going for his medical on Saturday and we're so excited to be nearing the finish line.

But the big problem is that we can't access the DS 260 online. Whenever we type in the case and invoice number it says that it's not right. The Case number is definitely right, and the invoice number should be his birthday, as YYYY-MM-DD, according to the US Embassy website. We've tried it in all sorts of ways to see if perhaps the instructions were wrong. Is there something that we are missing? Or perhaps a step we missed? We haven't filled out anything else online, haven't logged into anything so perhaps we are missing a crucial step or piece of information?

I'm going to call the NVC tomorrow to see if they are able to help, but was curious if anyone had a solution, or had experienced something similar.

you have to fill out ds-160 no ds-260

I was under the impression that the ds 160 was for non immigrant visas while the ds 260 was for immigrant visas.

I called the NVC and they were able to give me my invoice number! I also found out that it is the ds 160 form, as technically the K visas are not immigrant visas! which I think is what confused me because I could've sworn I read that it was.

The K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent.  This is why the visa interviews are handled by the Immigrant Visa units at the consulates.
