It is the actual visa application.  You must have filed it if your fiancé received the visa.

She already had a visitor visa and came to the US every year. Maybe that is why we didn't fill one out, only the 129F, and the Affidavit of support along with the other needed information.  She got her K1,  passed her AOS,  etc,  removed the conditional off her SS and State ID.    I checked and I don't even have a single pdf with the numbers 160 at all on my computer, and I don't delete anything. LOL

That's because its an online form. it's not a PDF

It's also the visa application and required for the visa.

A DS-160 must have been completed for a non-immigrant visa (including K-1). It's literally the visa application form. :P No application, no visa.

Edit: As noted, it's an electronic form. I think there's an option to save it to a file but I believe it's only accessible prior to submitting the form.

o.k.,  I went to the state dept and looked.  I personally did not do it, so I will ask my wife when she gets home if she did.  I hate to ask, because she might say "I told you I did!" LOL

My husband had a prior B-2 as well, and he definitely had to submit another DS-160 before the consular interview.

Beneficiary fills that out online and submits it for the interview.

The OP's screenshot lists relatives to mention (spouse, child, sibling).

Yes, those are what I was referring too.

Uhuh asks for more than that

The DS-160 does not ask for the names of other relatives only immediate relatives (fiancé(e), spouse, child, or sibling). If I remember correctly, it also asks for their immigration status.

She said they did the 160 when she renewed her visitor visa.  All I can tell ya.  Must be good as she passed everything.

I answered my Ds-160 just now.. When i indicated my fiance in the first question. As per Help: fiancè is included as immediate relative aside from spouse, child and sibling. It didnt ask the second question  "other relatives" so i didnt disclosed it. I have an aunt who is in the US.

It is not an optional question.  Just answer it honestly.

 

(Now I wanna contact them.  You seem to be hiding something LOL)

 

DS-160 is a non-immigrant visa application.  Relatives in the US (any) are important information if you’re applying for a tourist visa and they want to sniff intent to immigrate (however) nobody cares how many relatives you have in the US if you are applying for a K visa and are going to immigrate permanently anyway.

 

They don't care on a US Tourist visa whom your relatives are.  I have a worker whom is DACA, both his parents are illegal aliens and been in USA over 20 years, his grandmother got a tourist visa approved and came to USA recently, so it seems as if they don't care much

I'd disagree. While there are exceptions, the primary purpose of that question (about IRs) is to indicate if there is an eligible petitioner. DACA holders and those with  no protection are not. Parents don't need to be listed. So neither of that was was likely a factor in that case.

Had it been a spouse with a green card or USC, that would likely have played more of a role.

Parents?  It was the grandmother coming to see the son, whom has been here over 20 years.

 

So you are saying you don't list you sons or daughters if they are over age 21?

Ah, I was referring to the worker with regards to their parents. Yeah, the grandmother would need to list the son. Although their status made him ineligible to petition her, so that's something too.
