forgot something in DS 160.. Help

[Amythyst88 2]

signed and submitted my DS-160.

printed confirmation page.

printed the entire application page for my own reference,

UNTIL, i noticed the EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND part was missing on it. OMG!!!

I can still remember i had it filled up before submitting it, but why does it didnt show up when i printed it out??? it drives me crazy right now??!!

Should i make another DS 160? or stick with the first one?

I called the USEM Manila a while ago, he said the educational background part wasnt that vital if i missed answering it on the ds 160, or i can make another DS 160 to make sure..

what should i do???

please help.

P.S. I have not scheduled yet my interview. but paid the visa

You can just edit the entries online. Check their website again for DS-160. Don't worry you can always have this updated.

i already signed and submitted it. i was able to edit the educational part when i retrieved it and started a new application.

" Don't panic. You are not the first person to have faced a similar problem! Although it's true that the State Department has not provided a way to go back and change an already-submitted DS-160, you can go back online to submit a new, corrected DS-160, print the new confirmation page, and bring that to your interview at the consulate or embassy.

This may be less work than you think. First, check how many days have gone by since you submitted the original application. If it is less than 30 days, go back to the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website, www.ceac.state.gov. Click on DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. Click the tab for “Retrieve an Application.” Hopefully you took note of the application ID number from the DS-160 you submitted earlier, because you’ll need to enter that application ID number in the box. Then click the Retrieve Application button. Next, you’ll have to answer the security questions to get back into your form. Once you’re in, correct your mistake, then review everything, then electronically sign and submit the application You will be given a new confirmation and bar code to print and bring to your interview. "

problem is i already signed and submitted it.

Does anyone had the same problem and done things mentioned above and did not encounter any problem along the way??

thanks!

I am glad that you have done some research on this topic most do not. As the others have said, and I will say the same thing, you can still change things once you are at USEM. It would be a good time for you to relax and go to your interview as you seem to be ready. The CO's have access to the DS160 and can make corrections if NEED BE. Plenty of others have passed with items on the DS160 that were not 100%. Good luck.

I actually printed the summary of my DS 160 last time before i sign and submit it a while ago. I compared the printed final application to what i printed last time (in the REVIEW button), only to find out that the educational part was missing in the final printed application (after insigned and submit it)..

What confuses me is the fact that we cannot go to he next question if something was left unanswered. I regret i printed the whole application, i could have not seen and compare the previous summary to the final applications..

It appears to be a bug in the software. You can provoke it by using the "previous" and "next" buttons in the form. It seems, that when going backwards in the form, the educational questions pop up, where there didn't before. I don't think they are required for your visa class.

Just my guess...

[Amythyst88 2]

Because i believe i really filled up the education part of the form, coz if i did not, i would not be able to complete it at all, right? I would not be able to proceed to the next question and page. BUT everything should appear in the entire summary when i printed it out, even if i amswered it No or Yes, the question must be also printed, but there's none.

Well, i dont know yet if i'll stick with this confirmation or should start a new one.

I would not stress on it, as they said when you called USEM it is not a vital part of the process. Do remember, the DS-160 is used with many types of non-immigrant visas so it has sections that are not vital to the K-1 visa process.

What to do? Your decision. Personally I would relax, let it be. But if it really bothers you then complete a new DS-160 an bring the new confirmation page to the interview.

No so. Once the DS-160 has been submitted it can not be updated.

If i make a new one should i bring also the old confirmation during the interview?

If you make a new DS-160 you bring the new confirmation page and TOSS the old one in the trash.
