DS-156 Error

[tcsm 2]

Hi,

I get that error in any browser other than Internet Explorer. e.g. chrome, firefox, safari.

However in internet explorer i get the below when the form is onscreen.

Same problem here. My attorney got the error several days ago as well (which is why i was retyping this again myself). Frustrating as all get-out.

A question to be asked, but probably won't be answered cause they are not reading this, but are other people actually succeeding in getting their form submitted? Is everyone having this problem, or only a select few of us?

Thank god that when i did a "back" on the browser, all the data was still there. hopefully we can just keep trying to hit "Submit", and hope that our browsers/computers don't crash, before they fix this problem.

Note to self, don't forget and accidentally Quit Firefox... dohhhh

I am also having this problem right now! I can't submit my DS-156 after completion

I'm getting the same error, I've tried on 4 different computers, through chrome, firefox and IE and all come back with an error and to contact system administrator. This is the last form I need for packet 3 before I send it off and I got packet 3 about a week ago.

Someone suggested not using comma's on the form. I hope it is fixed soon, is anyone sending in packet 3 (I know most likely country specific) anyways?

Same Problem Here. " Error occurred" everytime I click in Continue. I don't know what to do anymore.

Thanks

What we are getting is an "HTTP 500 error" This means that there is a programing problem on their side of things. There is nothing we can do about it. If you are getting the "your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements" popup then you need to update your browser and your adobe acrobat.

I did it Thursday night on Chrome with no problems.

i eliminated all the commas from my submission, and it still errors out, so that is not the problem.

If this is indeed an error 500 ... that implies that their back-end server that processes the data is down. Which means, at best, it probably will be down until monday since if they don't even bother to monitor their own systems, they probably don't have anybody working over the weekends to restart the service. But it sounds like it's been down at least this past Friday, if not part of thursday, so they are really out of touch with their systems... probably nobody has been able to communicated directly with the system administrators of the box to let them know it's even having problems. Argh... You're in the Army now... Hurry up and Wait....

Yup, still down. Let's make lots of NOISE!!! go to http://www.travel.state.gov/about/contact/contact_4746.html to report the problem. If you have an interview coming up soon just use the fillable PDF: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/108128.pdf

Woohoo, just tried it again, and I got the form generated. Let me know if it's working for anyone else now

I just did it. Works now.

Contrary to a post about stating that if it says you "may not" meet the requirements to update your browser etc.. I did NOT update because I was already up-to-date. It still claims I "may" not be up-to-date but I am.
