Is DS-260 required to take????

[edsotherhalf 1]

I filled out the DS-260 online and tried to print it after. All I get is garbage on printing. I have been trying since from the review page and it won't print!!! Does anyone know if I am required to take a copy of the DS-260 to the interview in Montreal???? I am a little worried as I cannot get a copy. I have read in reviews that they make you fill out a DS-230 at the interview which I was able to fill out online and print a copy of it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Well i haven't done it yet but I've been reading up on it and the information I read for the Mexico embassy is that you just fill out the DS 260 and the info gets forwarded to the embassy. Then you sign the copy they have on the day you go. That is what it looks like to me, but like I said I haven't gotten to this stage yet...

I would have a copy of the DS 260 as well as the DS 230 filled out just in case because judging from other posts i have read recently at the Montreal embassy they always ask for that as they are not fully on the online forms yet. Just print out what ever comes out as long as it has the information you inputted then its ok.

That is the problem. No matter how I print it is it in codes, doesn't show any of the information I put into it. I am going to have my husband try from his computer tonight to see if he gets the same thing. I tried saving into a PDF and copying it from my documents but its the same garbled printing.

Apparently Montreal is not set up to print off the DS-260 so most people now have to fill out the DS-230 on the spot. I have one of those filled out but just scared they are going to ask for the DS260 and I don't have a copy as it won't print.

Make sure for all the Uscis sites etc you use internet explorer or it wont work. and if you have issues with pictures you can just skip them.

I was trying to fill out the DS-260 form and hit a road block when I had to list ALL addresses from age 16 on. Just curious to know how picky they are since I'm having a few memory issues with a couple of addresses while I was at university. The DS-230 doesn't ask for specific addresses, just the name of the city which I can easily do.

Thanks

I was in the same boat. I have moved 23 times since I was 16!!!! I put box numbers on some of my addresses as they were in small town Sask and PEI. Also if I put in a date of Feb it rejected it so had to change any from Feb to March. They are reviewing it now so I guess i will hear if they don't like some of the addresses or just how picky they were. Oh at one time I lived in Germany but was there with the Canadian forces so just put the box number for where people sent us things which was in Belleville, Ont. Good Luck

I waS able to print out the online DS-260 for my hubby...I just highlighted it all then pasted it in an email and emailed it to myself then at the library I was able to print it out....it came out to 2 pages. Try that. Plus we are going to take a filled out DS-230 also. Or try copy pasting in word document. Hope that helps!

Thanks. I tried both of those and it comes out garbled. I do have a DS-230 all filled out and I also wrote out all the questions on the DS-260 for reference if asked. Not much I can do if the damn thing won't print.
