Hi there, Pls type the DS 160 number next to DS 260. K1 is always immigrant. This new system is all messed up post server change. Thnx

Hello Ishani,

 

Thank you very much for the response. I don't see any space or column to mention ds160 confirmation number, all I see is space given to mention ds260 number. You're right, it is really cumbersome to manage such things if the portal is so messed up. I have attached a screenshot. Please help me here! 

 

Thanks

Hello All,

 

I need some help on the new portal, where I don't get to see ds160 application number, it rather asks for ds260 which is not needed for non-immigrant visa (K1). K1 is listed under immigrant visa category, there is something wrong. Can someone please help me here to proceed further? I have already filled ds160 and I have the number for it.

 

Finding so many comments here is like finding water in the desert for K1 applicants from India, some sigh of relief!

 

Thanks!

Thank you once again for making this clear, it helps a lot. I will continue to complete the process and then look for a slot availability, I am yet to complete the biometrics as well. Can I ping you on your profile with my email id to avoid personal information sharing violation? This way I will be updated with the latest information through the group.

 

Thank you so very much 🫡

Hello Nibedita, I have gone through these threads and found that many of us are facing an issue with the unavailability of slots, all you need to do is keep trying, I read it here that few of us got it around 3PM IST, not sure which day but that's the last stage and requires a lot of patience, let's hope for getting it at the earliest. Don't keep trying every hour, maybe twice a day, otherwise, your ID will be blocked temporarily. All the best! 👍

Superb! All this while I had been thinking that DS260 is for CR1/IR1 but things are changing too fast. Thank you very much for your response. I am going to complete the process and look for available slots, hopefully, will get it soon 🙂

Do I need to book biometric and interview separately?

Yes, both are separate processes. Biometrics first and then Visa interview.
