Attorneys can now press the "submit" button on the electronic DS-260 form.

At a recent conference in Memphis, TN, an official from the Cd. Juarez consulate confirmed that attorneys can click the "submit" button the DS-260 form if they enter their information as the preparer.

EDIT 05/16/2011: After receiving questions, I went back and checked with the CDJ official regarding the DS-160 form.  The NIV chief at CDJ confirmed that the above applies to DS-160 in the same way; attorney must enter his or her information as preparer to be able to hit the "submit" button.

EDIT 05/23/2011: This news poses some ethical concerns.  See updated blog here: http://noblelawfirm.blogspot.com/2011/05/can-or-should-attorneys-really-hit.html
