Hi everyone,

I just came back from visiting my fiancé the US today. We actually wanted to send packet 3 back to the Embassy in Frankfurt before my trip. So I filled out and submitted the DS-160 beginning of December.

My problem now is that the "previous visits to the US"-part is not current anymore. Since I thought we would send packet 3 before Christmas I didn't worry about it.

The confirmation page is dated December 4th, but I haven't paid the Visa Fee yet. I want to send everything to the embassy tomorrow.

So my question is can I fill out a new DS-160 or should I just use the one I already have, since the date it was submitted online was before my last visit (Visit was 24 December until 5 January).

I will be happy about your answes and help. I'm so insecure and nervous about it.

Hello you!

So I Just had my interview in Frankfurt and they asked me at the embassy if anything changed in the DS-160 I submitted or if I've been in the US since then. My guess is you could leave it like it is and tell the person at the consulate that you visited your fiancé recently...but that's just a guess lol
