Not since August 1st 

Today is civic holiday. So, Conuslate is enjoying their day off.

I just happened to check CEAC and saw that my Ds-260 is re-opened, they have asked to update it as instructed BUT we never got any instruction email, and neither case is updated! hopefully, they should send something in a couple of weeks

They (Consulate) requested an update for your DS-260 without adjudicating the visa?

I just checked CEAC and our status has changed to “expiring soon” and our DS-260 is open.
I still don’t have an email yet.

But I think based on other people’s post when it says expiring soon they receive the passport request pretty quickly?

🤞🤞🤞

Does anyone know how to change the original address to receive our passports back from to consulate. Also, does anyone have instructions on how to send the passport? We have moved since over a year ago and need the passports sent to a different address.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone! I just logged in to my ceac account and checked the DS-260 expiration date (October 31, 2025), it’s on the top right corner of the form. There was also an estimated burden ~ 155min. My interview was on September 27, 2023. I have no idea what this date is. Does anyone have an idea about it?

Here’s the screenshot of the information. What is this expiry date about?

Are you guys talking about this expiry date or there’s another expiry date for DS-260? @Kara.gana @Vancan
