I had my 2nd interview (re-oath) in April 2019 after which I was given the DS-5535 after. Been in AP since...

I just received an email from the consulate asking me to get new medical & police certificates (both expired from Nov 2018) and to also send passport, pictures & 'updated DS-260 online application form' in order 'to continue my processing my case'.

 

I hear the DS-260 has been updated since? I cant access the form on CEAC or AIS. How do I update it? Can anyone assist?

When I asked my lawyer about the form he said the embassy is asking me to 'file another DS-260 with supporting documents' and he is asking me to pay him $1500 !!

All I need to add is my new passport details and information of our new born. I haven't traveled since the interview. I imagine there wouldn't be that much new information requested in the updated form that was not covered in the DS-5535 hence we could file it ourselves? 

My form was last updated for the re-oath around November 2018.

Would appreciate any help/suggestions on this please.

 

Hoping its a good sign that they are asking for these things...

You might be able to have NVC reopen the DS260 if you call and explain to them why you need it reopened, it’s a hassle to get through though so keep calling until you hear a ring for a second at the beginning, and then stay on the line to go through the robot menu before you can be put on hold to an agent
