Anyone had any problems filling in the electronic online form DS 156. Don't think I did anything wrong. Filled it out, pressed continue then blank for ages, all info gone and unable to print.
Could their server be down or could it be my end.
Any ideas. Probably have to fill it in all again.
Yes this happened to me i tried again afew days later and it worked fine. Just give it another go unfortuntley you will have to fill the forms out again.

I was reading on the embassy website about pc requirements for the forms. Do we have to have service pack 2 for XP? Last time I put this on the pc the pc had to be wiped as I had so many problems with it.
Has anyone done this form who does not have service pack 2?
Appreciate any info.
Dont think we have service pack 2 and my daughter filled out her form successfully Gamedude

Good luck

Finally managed to complete the DS 156 form online on 4th attempt.
Don't know why it worked that time. I downloaded acrobat reader 7.0 (we already had 5.0 they recommended)so maybe thats why, I even unplugged my router so had direct broadband link without router firewall. Don't know if these changes had anything to do with it or it just worked by chance.
I was fed up filling out the form, so on to the other supplementary forms now. I will be glad when this is over.
Have you got Acrobat reader 5 if you an older version this may be why you can not do it. Also upgrade your the service pack2 your'e computer should be able to automatically do this.
Sorry your'e having problems the whole experience of getting a visa is a problem enough without this.
Hope this helps
