DS-156 FORM

[Kelly & Row 0]

Hello Everyone,

I am about to schedule my K1 Visa Interview this coming third week of September. As part of the requirements,I filled up a DS-156 Electronic Visa Application Form. Unnoticeably,I filled up wrong information in Q#37. And also,I would like to edit some of my answers in other questions. My DS-156 Form was already generated and printed with barcode and barcode number. My concern is, Can I edit my DS-156 Electronic Form on State.gov website since I have only a copy of PDF File? If yes, How and where can I edit that Form? Or should I prepare a new one? There will be no conflict with the first DS-156 Form I prepared?

Hope someone could help me with this. Thank you so much. Your inputs is very much appreciated.

Did you mean the DS-160?

The DS-156 is a printable form, but you send in the paper copy, it doesn't go directly to the embassy/consulate. The DS-160 is electronically submitted.

Which embassy/consulate are you using?

Thank you so much for your response.

I use the DS-156 form thru this website http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html

and I am applying here in Philippines (US Embassy Manila).

So, it does'nt matter if how many times I edited the DS-156 form eventhough it generates barcode & barcode number? It will not affect my application coz Consul might think that I am not sure with my answers due to changes?

Thank you once again..

btw, don't use the DS 160..it's not applicable to the US Embassy in Manila..and attach your visa photos on the DS 156(paste or glue them)...have a good day!!

The barcode is just a way for them to scan in your answers instead of having to hand-type everything. It speeds things up for them. It doesn't generate a code saying how many times you've filled out the form. You can do it as many times as you need to get it right. They'd prefer it to be right on your 108th time, than to do it once and have it wrong at the interview. Well.... I say THEY.... they don't really care if it's right or wrong, they'd just give you a blue slip if it were wrong.

Just fill out a new one and take it to the interview.

Thank you very much to both of you. I already printed another set of DS-156, at least right now I am confident that I am doing the right thing.

Thank you to you, DODI and POOKAPHILUS!!!

God Bless us all!
