Can I change DS-156 form ???

[cheers_glory]

Hi,

I have already taken an appointment for my parents in April 2006. I took the appointment online thru http://vfs-usa.co.in. Now, I need to make a change in form DS-156. I am currently on F1 and I was hoping to get my H1B by April(before they attend the interview) and so mentioned my visa status as H1B in DS 156, but now I got my H1B with the effective date from June 2006. I need to modify the DS 156 form to change my visa from H1B to F1. Can I change it now? If I change that online, will the CO know that I have changed it. I was worried because this change must not make the CO suspicious about my visa.

Note: My husband is sponsoring for my parents and he is on H1B.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How/where can you change DS-156?

Hello both,

How can we change our DS-156. I can not change it on VFS website. May be I should go to US chennai consulate wesite and fill up a new form. But the bar code changes completely then. I am little confused. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you

Ur appln will be saved on vfs site for one month. Not all fields are editable.
To modify DS156/157:

Go to VFs site

click on 'Aplly for non-immigrant visa' link
Enter passport details and receipt no.
U will see a link that says 'retrieve/modify' appln.

To correct NON Editable fields, u will have to take a new printout and fill all fields manually. Let the officer know of these (manual) changes
