DS-160 Passport Issuing Country Mistake

[Mays91 0]

Hi,

 

My fiancée is a K-1 applicant in Manila. She already finished her medical and VAC biometrics, but we just noticed her DS-160 has an error.

 

In the “Passport Country/Authority Issued” field, she put United Arab Emirates. Her passport is actually a Philippine passport issued at the Philippine Consulate in Dubai. All other details (number, name, dates, etc.) are correct.

 

Should we:

 

1. Leave it as is and explain at the interview, or
2. Submit a new DS-160 with the correct info and bring both confirmation pages?

 

 

Will the Embassy be able to use the new DS-160 at the interview even though VAC was already done with the old one?

 

Thanks for your help

The DS-160 for the interview has to be the one that was used for the VAC appointment and that was associated with the interview confirmation. I would not have her do another one or they may not allow her into the interview. At this point I would have her just explain to the Consular Officer at the interview the mistake and let them handle it how they want to.

Proactive correction during the interview always should work.
