I am filling out my DS 230 now, I am almost ready to print it- just rechecking that everything is filled in correctly. Is there a barcode that comes up on it?

Actually, I'm curious to find this out as well. I just finished printing out my DS-230 too but am not sure how to incorporate this into Jame's shortcuts. (Yes I did read the guide, but couldn't find the part where he talked about how to generate these barcodes.)

In my packet 3 it stated to do the DS-156 form in duplicate electronically and to print it and to ensure that page 3 had the printed bar code included on it as it would be required at the interview

I have finished and faxed the DS 230. I have my checklist ready to fax.

I am taking a break from the DS 156, when do I have to send that? As soon as I finish it?

Okay help a girl out here. Dan is on his way back to Canada with our *holy grail* (all the ####### he needs for this fiancee visa thingee!!!) :) My question is this. He has the blank DS-156 (two of these) and a DS-156K. They were sent to him by the embassy in Montreal. Now he is going to fill the DS-156 in duplicate and not sign and fill out the DS-156K (just one as instructed) and not sign either until he is in front of the interviewer in Montreal. Now are we missing something here in regards to filling stuff out electronically? Nothing in packet 3 mentions doing anything electronically!!! HELP HELP HELP!!! He is scheduled on June 1st and I need to let him know now. Thanks in advance!!

The 156 needs to be filled out electronically as their website mentions that they will no longer accept hand filled DS-156.

This can be filled out online and printed.

Hey Misty,

I might be wrong, but for us CR1/IR1 applicants, we need the barcode for the DS-230 barcode coversheet (it's a new barcode coversheet that includes a NVC logo), and not for the DS-230 application itself (as in, I don't think we have to stick a barcode stripe on the DS-230 application itself).

Directions to generate the new barcode coversheet is here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...=117&st=135 (post 148) and to download the sample new DS-230 barcode cover sheet is post 151

Good luck! :) --Karina

I believe it states in the insructions that come in packet 3 to do the DS-156 electronically online , to print them off in duplicate along with the generated page 3 that includes the bar code. When I did mine the instuctions stated to send the signed DS-156 forms which were done online and to make sure the barcode sheet was also included These along with the checklist and the DS-230 were asked to be sent back

The DS 156K I still have, it's filled out and I take it with me to my interview and sign it in front of the Consulate Officer
