Audrey, Sep 30, 2014
If you are applying for a US immigrant visa, you have to complete first your DS-260 immigrant online application at https://ceac.state.gov/ceac before going to the US embassy to attend your visa interview appointment.
This is the announcement made by the US Embassy in their website, stating this will be implemented starting October 2, 2014.
But what is DS-260? DS-260 is the Online Immigrant Visa Application and Registration, which had replaced the paper-based DS-230 or the old Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration. DS-260 is a fully integrated online electronic visa application forms that is now used to collect all the needed information from persons applying for immigrant visas.
The US Embassy advised all immigrant visa applicants who appear for the interview but have not completed DS-260 application forms to reschedule their interview by visitng the online appointment website at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph or by calling the Embassy’s Visa Information and Appointment Service at (632) 982-5555 / (632) 902-8930.
But rescheduling interview appointment for the immigrant visa application of those with incomplete DS-260 may take long, waiting for three to six weeks for the next available appointment. To avoid these circumstances, the US Embassy advises everyone to complete the DS-260 ahead of the interview schedule.
