The DS160 is a form the beneficiary has to fill in order to request for the visa, you can do it here https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

once she fills it, she will get a confirmation page with a number which needs to be downloaded and printed to show it at the time of the interview, and how it shows in your picture, you also need it to pay the fee

I dont understand what you said. My fiancee is telling me that she saw this screen after putting in things like age, date of birth, email, etc. It came to this screen. She doesnt know what to enter in "DS-160 number" in order to proceed further.

The website that you linked to above. She says that it was the second stage of registration. But it was while she was trying to fill out the ds160

Anyone?

well thats weird because what it shows in the picture is that she is completing the information to make a new applicant in the website of visa appointment, so its like she is ready to pay the fee and schedule her appointment for the interview, but you can't do that until you fill and send the ds-160 form in the link i sent before

This page can actually differ from embassy to embassy.

It should be the number on your DS-160 confirmation page. Usually starts with AAxxxxxx

It is most likely the site for interview registration. This although also can be different regarding the region (in my region it was a website starting with cgifederal.....

 

however ds-160 number would be on the confirmation page of DS-160, called “confirmation number”

The DS-160 is the NON-immigrant visa application  which is required with the K-1.   As you setup your profile on ustraveldocs, schedule interview and such, make sure you do things under Immigrant Visa as the K-1 is processed as an immigrant visa.

I figured it out. Apparently yes, she was trying to schedule interview, but had not yet finished the ds-160. But thanks everyone for your help. It's a crazy time right now.
