Do we need to fill out DS156 form electronically or can i print it out and fill out by hand?
Printing the form first does not generate the barcode whereas typing electronically and processing the form online generates the barcode.
Filling out electronically does have some problems. e.g Q22 where i need to type in "Already in U.S" does not allow to do that since it accepts only date formats. Places where i need to say "N/A" or "N.A." does not accept "/ or ." and hence i would need to write by hand after printing them out.
Can i fill out whatever i can electronically, let them process and generate a barcode and then print it out and write by hand whatever was left incomplete?
Also everytime i click on Continue in the electronic version, it processes and generates a new barcode every new time. Do they store this information anywhere since i have clicked on Continue twice already and has generated 2 different barcodes each time. They should not come back and claim that there are duplicate forms with my same name [becoz of the 2 different barcodes].
Pls advise.
Do i need to print this DS156 form back to back or is it ok to print them out on 2 diff pages?
Also, do i need to fill out DS157 by hand or electronically?
Hope u would answer the queries.
P.S.
