Mistake on DS-260 and How to correct it?

[fitness123 2]

Hello everyone,

When I was filling out DS-260 for my wife, I accidently selected "No" for this question below and submitted the application.

"Have you ever been refused a US Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?"

The answer to the above question is basically "Yes".

How can I correct this mistake? Is this considered a major or minor mistake? Can my wife tell the consular officer on the interview day?

Call NVC. If you don;t have case Complete yet they might be able to still rep[en it and correct.

My case is already complete. Just waiting for interview letter. Can my wife tell the consular on the interview day that it was mistake.?

It's too late than for NVC to correct. But you must bring it up to the CO at interview. Cuz that information is vital that its corrected.

ok. i will tell my wife to inform the CO about this mistake before her interview starts. Hopefully everything goes fine.

Yes, definitely tell your wife to mention it asap when she arrives for her interview. That's a very important part to answer wrong as it can be seen as you were trying to hide a material fact.
