I-129 asked about other names used (10) and Name of Prior spouse/s (13). You did not declare any of this on your I-129F?

I declared the name of my previous spouse but I wasnt able to put my previous name on my I-129F :(.

Hi all,

Have you guys encountered any trouble in retrieving your DS-160? My son was finished filling up the form and when he was uploading his photo, the page timed out. He tried retrieving it but there was an error:

  • Surname does not match.
  • Year of Birth does not match.
  • The answer for the security question is incorrect.

He is so sure that he was entering the right info. Is this a recurring problem? He used Mozilla FireFox and also tried Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, but to no avail.

Best thing to do now is start a new DS-160, as the Embassy will be using the bar code that's generated when you successfully submit your form. Lot's of people make a mistake. This is not a big deal. Just start a new one.

Thank you, Greenbaum. He actually did it twice. He couldnt retrieve the first one so he did another one, also same problem. The page timed out when uploading the photo and he cant retrieve it yet again. Anyway, he's actually filling up a new one now. Hopefully this time it will be successful.

Adjust the file size for the picture to start with, that seems to be an issue.

Hi all (F) !

Hope everyone is having a good day.. or night!

I have called US Embassy yesterday and have scheduled my interview on Dec. 7th. My fiancee and I were hoping to schedule it within November but the embassy said they don't have any open slot for this month anymore.

I have already filled out the DS-160 but havent clicked "SIGN" yet because there are some questions that I'm unsure of what answer to put in there. I have called the US Embassy and asked the customer service for help but she declined..

So I am here again.. I need your help to make me understand.. pretty please. I just want to make sure that I am not just putting unnecessary answers to questions that I don't even need to answer.

1. Marital Status - my previous marriage was already annulled but the drop down from that question doesn't have the word "Annulled" in the list. Will it be safe to click on "DIVORCED" or "OTHERS" instead?

2. National Identification Number - should I just put my Tax Identification Number here?

3. Passport Book Number - I'm lost. I know that this is different from the passport number.

4. US Point of contact info - Fiancee? My mom told me we have relatives living in the states but she doesn't even know their names (lol) so maybe it is safe to click "no"?

5. Vaccinations - should I just click Yes and just refer to St. Luke's documentations after my medical?

6. Other names used - I dont have any aliases but how about my married name? I used my ex husband's family name when my marriage was not yet annulled.

I am kinda confused (yet, again).. maybe I am just nervous and I am scared that my application will be denied just because I did not understand and I made a mistake. I put everything to the best of my knowledge in that form and I just want to make sure that I understood every questions before I click "Sign".

Thank you in advance!
