 Maybe to late for this, just got an interview, mid August.  I completed the DS-160 form, all proper, got the completion letter. I see reference to DS-260 at times, did I do the wrong form? Standard K-1 visa?
 Right now it’s off to schedule the medical, then collect all the required documents. We/she has them, just need to go through the checklist. 
 

  My main question now is the ds-160 verses the 260. If I did the wrong one, do I do the 260 now? Thanks.

DS-160 is what you complete for K1, B2 and various other non-immigrant visas. DS-260 is completed for CR, IR, F and other various immigrant visas.

DS-160 is the appropriate form for the K-1 Visa Application. It is technically a non-immigrant visa but they treat it as an immigrant visa for all intents an purposes. You did it right 😁
