Correct that is also similar information I received from dos. The ds260 has a cut off date. People who received packet 3 information before that cut of date are not required to fill it out. Lets face it if your not given a invoice number how are you suppose to fill this form out online. The online website requires a invoice number.

So all new applicants now will need to ask for their invoice number if it is not already stated on their letter which I doubt it will be. I would say anyone at NVC stage should ask for this number. Anyone passed the NVC stage and at the consulate stage should double check with their consulate.

Subject: RE: Inquiry on K1 visa Interview appointment on case number

Thank you for your email. Your fiancée does not need to complete Form DS-260 for the processing of her K1 visa. She also does not need to complete Form DS-230. What she needs is Form DS-156/156K for her K1 visa interview. Thus far, there has not been any changes. If there is, we shall communicate the same to the affected applicants. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Sincerely,
Immigrant Visa Unit
U.S. Consulate General
