Ds-260 is the electronic version of Ds-230.

The DS-260 is the version of the DS-230 you complete if the beneficiary is from a country that is approved to do electronic processing through that NVC portion of the process.

Since you didn't ask I am assuming you know what the DS-230 is.....

Thank you for your reply. I was using the ds230. It says there that my mother did not complete the nationality portion correctly, I am trying the double check the form, It's 1-4 but I didn't see any nationality question there. Did I miss something!

The DS-260 is NOT part of the Electronic Processing (EP). EP is simply being able to EMAIL packages. The DS-260 is actually part of the online forms process, something completely different and unrelated to EP. Some countries are eligible for one or the other process, or if they're lucky, for both.
