DS-156

[FastTrack 3]

Hi everyone.... I just found out some information that may/may not affect our visa journey in some way... on the DS156 I wrote in my fiancees "National insurance number" in section 14 that asks for "National identification number", which is not something that even applies to her!!! I have already sent this in to US embassy in London with the other forms including the DS-2001...Since it is an online form with the special barcode I am hesitant to fill it out again with the proper info and send it in or have her take the revised copy with her to interview.... Does anybody have any insight into whether or not it is ok to fill this form out again with the proper info on that one question, or is the form sent electronically with new bar code when you do? Will it interfere in any way with our submitted form? Will it interfere with our process at all?

Thanks

I suggest taking an accurate copy to the interview.

I am not sure if it's the same in London, but in Montreal when I went for my interview, I was given the option of looking over all of my forms to make sure the information was correct.

You may want to attempt asking those who have gone through London, they might have some insight as to how it works or how you can contact the embassy.

...section 14 that asks for "National identification number", which is not something that even applies to her!!!...

Why it doesn't apply to her? "National identification number" in Poland is called PESEL and it is a 11-digit number.

you can fill it in again, the barcode is generated for that one document only, if you generate a new one just get rid of the old one, that's what I did.It is not send automatcally, it will be scanned at the embassy before the interview And yes Nat Identification Number is Polish Pesel!

SABI..... The problem I see with what you recommended is that I was required to send in the DS-156 with my DS-2001 and cover letter... or before... not to take it with me to interview.... were you required to send it in as well? ...or asked to bring it to interview?

Oooops . Yeah we were bringing it to the interview. If that's the case print a new one and bring with you to the interview and mention that you're missing the identification number. They might say it's ok or just switch the forms. Sorry not sure how it works in London... totally forgot you have different requirements there!
