i am collecting all the information I will need to complete DS-260 and not sure how to answer question regarding previous US visas. I had two US visas in my passport, different categories. Should I write the most recent one? I do not see a button to "add' one more visa number.

Thank you!

This may be helpful for those who are preparing to fill out the DS-260 in the future:

You have to fill out each page completely in the order it appears. To be more specific, if you try to click next without finishing one section because you plan to go back later, an error message will appear in red, prompting you to complete the page before moving on to the next one. This will only be an issue for those who are still trying to get all the info together for that form. We are only waiting for one aunt's address (she does humanitarian work and is incommunicado most of the time, and no one else seems to remember it.) So I sat down figuring I'd fill the whole thing out minus that one part, save it and come back once we have that last address, add it and be able to quickly submit the form. Not possible.

All in all, the form (so far at least) is exactly how I thought it would be based on the example form I've seen online. I actually found it pretty user friendly. Don't forget to check the browser requirements!

I think you can write an approximate address, complete other parts of the form and then edit your aunt's address when you get the right one.

There is question in DS-260 about my education 'have u attended any course at a secondary level or above' I have answered "yes" but I put the details of my masters and bachelor degree details there but I did not mention my higher secondary/high school details in that. Is it a problem? I have already submitted DS-260.Pls advice...

If you haven't sent the civil documents yet, explain in the cover letter and include any missing information from or corroborating documents to the DS-260 form. Otherwise, bring the info to the interview. The only exception are missing information that could trigger a checklist. I doubt high school info is that important.

Just check my IV Fee status and it looks like it's change from not invoiced to "total amount selected" 0.00 and no name or checkbox is featured.

Wondering if this is a site glitch or if they are working on it finally?

I am facing the same issue and I have the same question in mind as yours. Has anybody else experienced it?
