Traveling after DQ - need to update DS-260?

[team-joric 4]

Hi all, hope this makes sense. I've been DQ'd and have an interview scheduled at the embassy in London for the end of March.

 

I've got a 10-day round trip booked to the US in February.

 

For my DS-260 I only needed to submit travel history to the USA. This will have changed by the time of my interview.

 

Do I have to update the travel history before the interview? And if so, how do I do that? Does anyone on here have any experience of doing so?

 

Looking online has been unfruitful so far - I've seen rumours that the CEAC "unlocks" days before your interview and you simply upload it then; I've seen other rumours that the DS-260 is timestamped so it doesn't matter if there any updates after. Neither seem right?

 

I reached out to Londoninfounit@state.gov which is the contact email on the embassy website, but I understand that they can be very slow or may not reply at all.

No.  Inform the CO at the interview.  Forget those rumors you've heard.

They’ll ask you at the interview if anything has changed.
