DS-160 errors

[KnJ 0]

Okay tell me if I'm misunderstanding something...

I sent this email to Montreal IV yesterday:

Hello,

Regarding Case Number MTL 2009 XXX XXX K________ and J__________,

I printed DS-160 confirmation page plus all of the data, however the data did not print fully, it is cut off at "Family Information".

Should I re-do the entire form, producing a new confirmation page?

Thank you

I just got this response:

Yes, please do so.

So are we officially to go crazy now?

Given this interaction:

Hi all,

I e-mailed MTL last month regarding printing DS 160. Here's what I said:

Hi,

When I filled out the DS 160, I didn't print a copy of the application, just the confirmation. Would this be a problem? Thank you.

Here's Montreal's response:

No, that is fine.

OP5

So it should be fine. I think if they have your confirmation number then they have access to your application.

There are a number of possibilities here:

a. It just doesn't matter; they don't REALLY need the data, they only need the confirmation page.

b. It does matter, but it didn't matter back when Tina emailed Montreal. Now it does. Which is why OP5 has given two different responses.

c. There is confusion around this because it's a new form.

I have emailed back OP5 5 min after I received their response, to clarify, with the following:

Thank you, OP5, for your quick response.

I want to clarify:

Montreal requires the data to be printed from DS160, not just the confirmation page. Is this correct?

I'll update this topic if/when I hear back.

I made a mistake printing the DS160, I was advised to redo it. I redid the form, printed 2 copies of the confirmation page and 2 full copies of the detailed form.

It generates a new barcode everytime. So just redo it, properly and you'll be fine. I took the corrected copy with me, and got my Visa without incident...there was no mention of the first one I ever did and messed up.

Don't wait on getting a detailed response from them lol

hehe the form took me an hour or so, I'll be able to do it before interview no problem.

I think I'll also upload the more recent passport photo, same one i'll be taking and to the consulate (had a different one on the original petition).

Which I think is okay.

Yeah. I kind of wondered, and figured it'd be better to re-do it. This time, with IE! And geez, if it doesn't print in full again.... what then? : /

I redid mine last night as the appliation part wouldn't print for me either. Again, it didn't accept my photo. Oh well, I'll bring an extra one to the interview.

I guess I should re-do mine too.

I'll have to get my fiance to do it, since I really dont want to go all the way to the library just for this.

Because this is a new form and is not rolled out to all consulates, I don't think it's a big deal. Obviously they're having problems with that form and printing. Peachey did you use Firefox? I'm going to definitely use Internet Explorer, and see how it goes.

When I tried to access the form last night, it wasn't up, I kept getting an timeout.

Here is the e-mail I wrote MTL this morning:

Dear Sir/Madam,

On September 28 2009, I e-mailed to ask if it was necessary to print out a copy of the DS160. I had only printed out the confirmation page. OP5 responded that it was fine. I have been getting word from other people that it was necessary to redo the application online and print out a new confirmation. Please confirm that you just need the confirmation page. Thank you.

This is the response:

The confirmation page is adequate for the DS-160.

OP5

So....I still say it's ok to just have the confirmation page

I did use firefox and it worked fine...

[Rhiannercakes 14]

I think I'll just stick with the confirmation page then.

I'll be printing off what Tina sent to prove that it's okay.

I'm actually surprised that they responded this soon to my e-mail. Perhaps MTL really is catching up on everything, e-mail and otherwise!
