I filed a DS-260 two years ago, but some personal information has changed (I change a new passport and my son’s occupation has changed from student to self-employed). But, I cannot edit the DS260, it is locked.
In this case, after I received the interview notice, do I need to contact the consulate and ask them to reopen the DS260 a few days before the interview day? Or, I do not need to contact the consulate to reopen the form and update it a few days before interview, instead I should just bring the new passport and tell the officer about the changes directly at the interview? Is it Okay if I provide a new passport with a different number from the one on the DS260? (That one expired, so I changed to a new one)

Immigration attorneysIf you already have your interview coming up, you may just bring a new passport with the expired one and update information at the IV interview.
