I also have to stick a needle into my stomach area before flying, which is all sorts of fun.

And just for the heck of it I purchased a blood group testing kit and had fun using the finger pricking device. Turns out I'm O negative, which would be good if my veins were big enough for the donation needles -_-

I'd never fly if I had to stick a needle into my stomach. :dead: I'd take a Grayhound bus instead. :no:

I called last Friday to see about sending in IV Packet before it being invoiced and girl asked when I submitted DS261 I told her August 12th, she didn't hesitate and said "oh, Ok I will send that to have it reviewed. You should expect to have your IV invoice available to pay in a few days". I wasn't going to hold my breath. After I thought about it I realized its the day before the fee increases. The email invoice says $230. So yeah I'm feeling quite fortunate. Now I just hope my letter to Senator John McCain can raise some eyebrows if not just for my case but for spousal immigration as a whole.

Oh wow. They keep giving me the 60 day wait script. I'll try calling and see if I get someone helpful. Thank you!

I have finished the DS260! It wasn't too terrible, though the part about "withdrawing application to enter" got me confused. I ended up saying yes because I pretty much did... I just don't remember if that's what I actually did! Oh well, I told the truth though and that's that.

The story: Back in 2012 I was a loaf and had been in the states about 170 out of the 180 day per year limit. Now, it wasn't that I was there for 5 consecutive months or anything, I just took multiple visits and thought that the 180 days reset every time I returned to Canada. NOPE, LOL. Anyways, I had ridiculously stated that I intended to be there for 4 months since I was allowed six months and the CBP were like "Girl yoou dumb" so the officer said I could visit for a week but once I returned I shouldn't visit for 6 months. I was like "Nah bro, I'll just start that 6 months now and get a job."

So I did that. I'm not sure I signed a form though, but I definitely did decide myself not to enter that day. I actually called CBP before I wanted to enter in March 2013 asking if it was okay since my "ban" would be up by then, and that officer said "You were never banned :/" That's my story. I was dumb. ^_^

HI,

if I will fill out the 260 form, can the applicant log in latter and print it out?

thanks!

I believe so. You just have to click the "Sign" page at the top when you click on it once it's complete. It takes you back to the confirmation page and allows you to print it/email.
