Hello all, 

 

I'm starting to list all the documents that I will need to prepare prior the interview, while my case is being transferred from the NVC to the Embassy of Naples, Italy. 

 

There appears to be some confusion surrounding DS-160 and DS-260 forms, I don't know if I will need both, or just the DS-160.

Some pages of the Embassy websites mention it, some don't.

Why is that? So far I've been completing each step thoroughly and I had never read anything about Form DS-260 until now. 

 

Could someone help me clarify this atrocious doubt? Getting in touch with the Embassy is quite difficult and they're not willing to give out information by phone. Thank you

DS-160 is the non-immigrant visa application.

DS-260 is the immigrant visa application.

 

K-1 is a non-immigrant visa. It's handled by the immigrant visa unit at the embassies and is very similar to immigrant visas, so sometimes their instructions are generalized and refer to the DS-260.
