DS260 error in travel history

[Mibi 1]

Hi, so I submitted my DS260 and I printed it out. I noticed that the website didn’t save one country I visited in the last 5 years, or maybe I lost it inbetween saves. 
Should I try and contact NVC about it or it’s one of those mistakes I can clarify during the interview? 😕 

Thanks

Just my two cents. I will definitely write to NVC via email, make sure to clearly identify your mistakes and then your corrections or added correct answers. Then, notify US Embassy at your place via email or mai,l then again keep records. As usually they will only allow you to add or change DS-260 answers during your interview, but it is best that you do something ahead of time in that way they will think that you are genuinely not ommiting anything. (especially, when it involves police certificate etc. if you happen to stay 6 months or longer) or you will be best advised officially of what to do in this situation.

note: Always bring those printed evidences that you notified them way ahead of time with dates etc. for vertificatin when needed.

Goodluck, NG

Hi, thank you for your reply! 
 

the country visited in the last 5 years didn’t had a “timeframe” to add to them, it required only listing the country I’ve visited.

I never lived abroad. It cancelled a visit in the Netherlands for some reason, or most likely I lost it during the multiple savings. 
I’ll try and contact NVC about it, just so I have proof that I tried to correct my mistake :)  thank you!

I can confirm that the DS-260 form definitely did loose countries between saves on that specific question.  It was a reproducible glitch for us.  My wife has like 24 countries, we would enter them all, double triple check them for completeness and then move on in the form.  But, when we went back to review that question there would be several countries missing.  So we would reenter them all, double triple check them for completeness, move on in the form, go back to review them there would be several countries missing. Repeat,,, repeat,,,repeat.  After 4 or 5 tries we finally concluded it was some sort of website glitch, somehow related to the high number of countries visited and gave up.  We made sure any country that would be material to the application, either positively or negatively, was not among the missing.  Then my wife briefly mentioned the glitch and missing countries at her pre-interview document review and for her it was a non-issue. OTOH if someone forgot to mention visiting Syria as a side trip from their Turkey vacation, that North Korea tour, 2 years someplace or something like that, I imagine it might be much more serious...

Yeah, I still wrote an email just to prove I wasn’t trying to “hide” it and if It could be added later on.  The country is part of the European Union and it was a weekend trip, nothing crazy about that! Thank you for confirming that part was glitching for you too!
