What's the difference between ds230 form and ds3260 form for American immigrants?

Immigration applications from the United States are handled by the Consular/Consular Bureau of the State Council (? The State Council, USA. Consular Affairs Bureau). Official website, according to the Consular Bureau, there are no ds230 or ds3260 application forms at present, but DS 260 (immigrant visa and foreigner registration application) is used to apply for immigration to the United States. See screenshot.

First of all, the form of immigration application is three numbers, so ds3260 does not exist;

Ds230 used to be a form of immigration application, and it was changed to ds260 from April 20 15. There is no difference between the two, except that ds230 is the application material and ds260 is the online application when submitting the application form. Because there is a certain difference between the words used in the form and those used in online application (online application is one screen and one question), the number of ds230 will not be extended for online application.
