hi again,,,ok, you fill out the ds156 online and then hit continue, it generates a barcode, you can print it and also save it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,does it save it for you on your computer so that you can make changes to it also if you want and does it save it to your computer so that you can also email it and then your SO can print it and sign it with the barcide>>>>>have to find a way to do this

When you fill out the DS-156 online and click Continue, it generates a printable PDF of the entire form with a unique barcode. In addition to printing, you should also be able to save it. That PDF can't be changed, however. Any changes have to be made on the evisaforms web form, because any change would require the site to generate a new bar code.

What you should be able to do is fill it out completely, hit continue, and save the PDF to email to your SO to be printed and signed. If you need his input to fill it out, I suggest typing in as much as you know on the website and just printing the page itself—not hitting continue to create the PDF. Or work on it together using screen-sharing software like the one suggested earlier in the thread or something like gotomypc.com or gotomeeting.com (which both have free trials, I think).

In my case, I'm just filling out and printing all the forms (including the DS-156), then sending them to my SO along with the affidavit of support, reaffirmation of intent to marry, and evidence of our ongoing relationship. We've been chatting back and forth all along to get the forms all filled in.

Hello All,

im back in the US waiting for the rest of the process. Yesterday we got a letter from the National Visa Centre (dated Aug 3rd) saying that we can expect our case to be forwarded to Juarez, MX in about a week. We know from timelines that Juarez is very slow but we hope to get the open letter (or find out that it has been mailed) in the next month or so. It is hard coming back without him. What a rough transition.

if you fill out the whole form and save,,,can you later trash that one and fill up another online, generating another barcode,or do you only get one????thanks so much for all your help

No worries. Yes, I think you can do it as many times as you need—the electronic version of the DS-156 doesn't actually submit anything to the State Department, it just generates the finished form with the unique barcode.

Your best option might be to fill it out together on his computer using www.teamviewer.com as michey and odessa suggested. That way you can see everything on his screen and even type for him, but then he can click continue and print it out there once you're satisfied that everything is entered correctly.

I am feeling fine, just tired from the travel yesterday. The trip, even with a week's stay in the hospital in Helsingor, was an absolute dream. It is really funny, I hadn't seen Lars since January but the minute we were together again, it felt like we had never been apart. I love that feeling.....being complete and happy.

Anyway....the last few days in Copenhagen were just beautiful. This is the best time of the year to go, the weather was perfect, lots of good food and a lot of love and attention from all of the family.

The hospital stay - if I was going to get sick in Europe, in my opinion, Denmark is probably the best place to do it. The medical care was on a par with what I could get here, possibly a little bit better (once we got started).

Helsingor is a beautiful city - Hamlet's Castle is there and we took the ferry to Helsingborg, Sweden and walked around there some. We used to live near Helsingborg so it was kind of like going home for us! We rode bikes and took a day trip to Fehmarn, Germany - a tiny island between Germany and Denmark. It used to be Danish and my grandmother is from there. That was great. We also too a day trip to another small island in Denmark....Mon (I am not sure about the spelling, I think I need some special danish letter in there). We saw the white cliffs there, ate great food and walked aroud Liselund Gardens.

I wish I could have brought Lars home with me but.....he is now in Nice, France for two weeks and then he leaves for Brazzaville, Congo on the 22nd of August.

I am glad to be home, ready for the NOA2!! I really did miss all you guys, seriously!

I got the email from CRIS friday evening that my petition for my wonderful fantastic guy has been APPROVED and my noa2 is in the mail-sent that day.

I'm sure the avalanche of March 09 approvals is about to hit everyone else too! My noa1 was mar 17th.

Good lucks and I hope everyone else is soon as happy as he and I are now...

happily planning the next 6 months,

gathering info for the interview,

S & K
