Hi,

in interview, do we need the copy of receipt for Form DS260 from the website ceac.state.gov to show that we submitted it online? it is mentioned in interview letter to bring it with you in the interview but according to our attorney, the Embassy will be having it with them so dont need to bring.

I am confused whether if it is required or not. If anyone has experienced with interview please share this information to clarify.

thanks.

It was mentioned on my interview letter to bring it but I wasn't asked for it on the day. But better to be safe than sorry and take it with you in case they ask for it.

Mine was touched a week before the interview too.

So excited for you - not long now! If you have the same bloke as me (young, slim, thinning hair) then it'll be a breeze. He's great.
