I am going crazy here having spent all day filling out the package 3 forms, setting up appiontments, etc...

Now I am half way through completing the DS-156 on line (the info recieved from the embassy does not say to fill it out on line but the US state website https://evisaforms.state.gov says you should). Anyways I messed up the paper form by signing (the form itself does not say not to sign just the info that comes with it). HOWEVER the online form is an older version (02-2003) than the form the sent me in the mail (03-2006). Anyone know what I should do?????

so again that is the same form that is from 02-2003 and earlier than the one they sent me 03-2006 next to which it says previous editions obsolete. Now this is proving to be especially annoying in my case as I messed up the form they sent me by siging it (the form itself does not say not to sign but the accompanying instructions do - note to self read all instructions carefully). Now I really do not know what to do!!?? I guess i will send the electrotic version and keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the invite to the London thread - I signed up already!!

Try emailing the london embassy se iff they can email you the forms again so you can print them off and hand write them? Thats the only thing I can think you can do.
