DS-261 Question

[NDP22 11]

I am currently trying to fill out the DS-261, however, it is continually telling me that my case number and the applicant date of birth do not match up. I am not understanding at all why it is saying this because I am almost 100% sure I am putting the correct information in. If anyone could give me some help or guidance, please let me know. Thanks!

There is no DS-261 for K1. The one you need is DS-160.

So there's no need to choose an agent for the K1?

For K1. After USCIS approved they will send it to NVC, then NVC will assign a case # and send it to Embassy. After the case ready at Embassy, you can fill out DS160 and schedule for interview.

Are you entering a correct date format? Two digit MONTH/two digit DAY/four digit YEAR? (I'm not shouting just emphasizing the order)

Okay, so I need to wait until the Embassy sends a letter to my fiance before I fill out the DS160?

Also, how will I get contacted from the embassy? Will i get a letter or email? or will my fiance get a letter or email?

I did.

the Embassy will send P3 to your fiance.

Also, is there anything I need to fill out before the embassy contacts my fiancé with an interview? And I’m not supposed to fill out the ds261 at all? Because I checked my case on CEAC and it took me to a page on the steps I need to take and the first step was to fill out the DS261. I’m not understanding that completely.

No you don't do the DS261.
