Hello, please what email address did you ?

KingsCollege80s:


Hello.

What is your exact issue ? Be Specific .

Okay, Chief, I thought I was clear and specific.

I completed and submitted a DS 160 to the Cote d'Ivoire embassy.

However, I processed my visa fee for the Abuja Embassy [/b]with a new Ds 160 number.

[b]The exact issue I am seeking directions on

There are presently two Ds 160 forms, one is already submitted and the other one filled but not submitted.

Question is, seeing there are two different embassies should I still submit the information on my Ds 160 that I used to process my MRV in the Abuja embassy?

The consequences of submitting the second Ds160 will be having two Ds 160 in their database.

That's what I am seeking clarification on.

Thank You
