DS160 question for a rescheduled interview after deadline 10-7

[RGinWA 816]

My fiance is now worried that we need to fill out the new DS160 online. We originally had our interview scheduled to take place on 10-22 and we needed it to be moved to 10-25 because of her medical.

I originally scheduled her interview on the date 9-23-2013, this is before the 10-7-2013 deadline as stated below.

NOTE: For K visa cases in process at a U.S. embassy or consulate, the DS-160 is not required when, prior to October 7^th, 2013, one of the following situations exist:

• The K visa applicant is already scheduled for an interview.
• The K visa applicant has already been interviewed and has been requested to submit additional documentation or is pending administrative processing.
• The K visa applicant has already submitted a valid, signed, unexpired DS-156, DS-156K and/or DS-230 or received instructions to do so.

The issue is that I when I rescheduled the interview to the day 10-25 I did the rescheduling on date 10-8. Past the deadline.

Does that now put me into the group of people that must now fill out the online DS160? Or am I safe to proceed under the old guidelines because it was originally scheduled on 9-23-2013?

Any information would be great.

Hello,

Personally I like the DS-160 better than the paper forms. As another posted stated, the biggest change is you need a digital visa photo to upload. Otherwise, it was pretty easy and only took about 1 hour to complete.

While you MAY get away with the paper forms...you MAY not. If you did both, you wouldn't have to worry.

Just my 2 cents.

Good luck by the way! My Fiance has her interview on 10/23.
