My wife is filling out the DS-260 form online currently, and we are stumped on only one question. "Have you ever been issued a U.S. Visa?" The answer is yes, as she has a "USA B1/B2 VISA/BCC" or what I think is also called a Laser Visa, AKA Border Crossing Card. The pulldown selection gives us an option of a B1/B2 or BCC. We chose BCC, as that's what it is. When we want to enter the Visa # on the DS-260 form, there is only room for 8 digits. We've searched a LOT for the right # to get from this card, as basically at the bottom of it it has a lot of characters (numbers and letters) with no indication what the real # is. We've read that it would be the number on the first row, at the right, that would be after the initials of the issuing office, for our case NGL for Nogales. But that number is 9 digits with the three zeros at the beginning, and only 6 digits without. The field in the DS-260 only allows a 8 digit number. We entered all but one zero in this field with the assumed Visa # from the BCC card, but not sure if that was right. Any advice before I hit submit on the DS-260? Thanks ahead of time. tom
