Effective October 9, 2013, the U.S. Department of State (“DOS”) is now requiring Form DS-160 for all K visa applications.  The DS-160 replaces forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230.

What this means for clients of the Seattle immigration lawyers at Genesis Law Firm is that if your K visa application (Fiance(e) Visa) goes for Consular Processing between October 9 and October 15, 2013, you may use Form DS-160 instead of the other forms.  However, after October 15, you must use Form DS-160.

DOS has indicated that it will not require Form DS-160 for beneficiaries in cases which have already been scheduled for an interview or have been interviewed and are pending additional documentation or administrative processing.
