  • Visa applicants commonly ask us what they can do if they find an error or mistake on their DS-160 Application Form. Former Visa Officer and licensed U.S. Immigration Attorney Travis Feuerbacher, Esq., explains why the DS-160 is so important, why is crucial that you review all of your answers before submitting the form, and what you might be able to do if you still find a mistake.

    I indicated on my DS-160 form that I traveled on May 27,2016, the accurate date of travel is May 23,2016. I want know whether this mistake would be considered a minor error or if it might have any material implications for my application or process?

    • @ZFvisa

      This is likely a minor error, but you should reach out to the Embassy or Consulate where you plan to interview to ask if you might be able to submit a new DS-160 form before your interview. It's always best to have accurate information in front of the Visa Officer without need for explanation.

    Dear,
    If you do not have an invitation letter and you do not have relatives in the United States, you can enter the address and telephone number of the accommodation on the DS160 (for B1/B2 holidays)? ????

    • @ZFvisa

    My question is with DS160 for F1 visa- Facing issue with DS 160. Earlier in December 2023 I registered on DS 160 which is not accessible anymore. Hence I had to create new application after securing the visa slot. Now my visa appointment has old application number and embassy is not accepting request to update the new application number in my appointment. What could be done in this? I have new DS160 confirmation page and old application number since I didn’t submit the old application. I look forward to your response.

    • @ZFvisa
      @ZFvisa  2 месяца назад

      If the Embassy won't let you change the Application ID Number, you'll need to schedule a new interview with your new Application ID. Otherwise, the Visa Officer will look at your old DS-160 when you go in for this interview.

    Can I change DS160 after completing biometric?

    Hello. I made a mistake of uploading a passport size photo instead of 2x2 size. I used the photo cropping tool to make it 2x2 but turns out when I submitted the ds160 the photo uploaded was the same original passport size photo that was not cropped. I already have appointment scheduled next month. I read elsewhere to bring a 2x2 physical photo in the appointment so they can use that instead or is there something else I can do to amend it? Thank you.

      If you can fit both in to the DS160, you should. But at the very least, be sure to mention both to the Visa Officer. Reach out to us at info@zfvisa.com if you have any other questions.

    I have a question regarding this. Would it be a lie if I mention my 'intended length of stay in US' on DS 160 2 years and 4 months if my actual Master's duration according to the Program website is 3 years? My masters is 3 years long but my I-20 has an end date which ends 8 months earlier than the actual end date of the program. My university says they can't update my I-20 since this is a standard template that they use for all master's programs.

    • @ZFvisa
      @ZFvisa  3 месяца назад

      You should note the true duration of your program on your DS-160, and you should continue working with your school to update your I-20 with the correct dates so you don't encounter any issues with your visa status.

    • @ZFvisa
      @ZFvisa  3 месяца назад

      You might be able to, but the better option would be to submit a new DS-160 for a B1/B2 visa. This may require you to schedule a new interview, so first, contact the Embassy or Consulate where you plan to apply to see what their policies are.

    Hi! I accidentally answered the birthplace question with my address in the US when I filed. I've already created a profile and paid the visa fee. I'm eligible for the dropoff service in Taiwan, so I was planning on just using that instead of interviewing. Is this something I should correct by creating a new DS-160 and paying for the fee again, or should I not use the drop-off service, and go interview to correct it in person? Thanks in advance.

I emailed the embassy and they just said keep checking. We've been checking back every day for weeks at different times of the day (Bangkok embassy) but there is no change there. Is this normal? What should we do and is there a certain time of the day that is better than others? Thanks!

    When I applied for the US visa last year, I provided the address of a friend who was living in Florida. Currently, she has temporarily moved to India. My interview is scheduled for July 24th. What should I say if they ask about this? I am currently living in Vancouver on a work permit, and my purpose for the visa application is to visit some places in the USA. I gave that address because I had planned to visit her at that time.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the video.
    I recently got my F1 Visa Approved (via Dropbox) and delivered to my residence. Upon receiving the visa, I realised that I had initially made a mistake in my Ds-160. Wherein I selected my marital status as Single instead of Married.
    I am worried about the future visa complications this issue may produce for my wife and I.
    Should I retrieve my application and change my DS-160? Will I need to schedule a new appointment?
    Since I already have my visa on hand, and the data printed is all accurate, I don't see the use for the consulate to retake my passport and give me a new stamp.
    Please help with an insight if you can. Thanks in advance :)

    Hello sir i am an indian expat living in dubai uae from last 25 yrs. We are a family of four and applied for ds160 fornthe first time in june of 2022 and we got the appointment in may of 2023. However just before the appointment we received an email stating that our appointments stand cancelled. We got no explanation until we found an email n started cordinating also resent the required documents again and we received an email.to reschedule the appointment which we got of november 2024. After a couple of weeks we got an email stating to select earlier appointment but we could change that only once. Now in this whole process my daughter's passport got expired. Also as our interview appointments are next month i retrieved the confirmation page and realised that my old application ds no which i had created in 2022 was given to my husband's application and i got another one which was obviously invalid. The email with rescheduled appointments showed another ds 160. So new ds does not match with old ds. Out of 4 applications only mine and my husband's ds numbers changed but my both children's numbers are correct except a new passport number to be updated. From customer support we were asked to start new ds 160 applications and update the passport numbers as well as new ds numbers updated which again we can do only once.
    I have now got the new ds160 numbers changed.
    I am yet to submit my reviewd applications i hope we dont face any other issue after 2 year of long wait!!
    I apologise for this long explanation but kindly help. Thank you so much

    Hello sir,
    I would appreciate your response.
    I emailed my wife and children's DS-160 confirmation pages to embassy.
    I found few mistakes in my wife's DS-160 form. The 1st mistake: Have you traveled to any countries within last five years I put "no" in the original DS-160 which in fact we have come to Pakistan as third country for consular processing of our parole cases. So i corrected it to "yes" and I put Pakistan in there.
    So I emailed the corrected DS-160 confirmation page to the embassy and stated in the email that it was mistakenly selectd as no
    In my children's DS-160 forms I put self to question person paying for your trip which then I corrected it to parent
    Are these minor mistakes? And will there be any problem during interview? I'm extremely worried.

Will the new visa officer look at my old DS160 form during the visa interview, because some of the questions in the old DS160 form will be different from the new DS160 questions? Will this affect my visa interview? In other words, will there be any problems in the current visa interview with the officier because the questions in the old DS160 form are not the same as the current questions?

    Sir, for any changes in ds160 after scheduling appointment, the U.S. Visa Service Desk is saying to bring both the original ds160 form and new ds160 with different application number. Below is their reply -
    If your appointment was booked prior to November 15, 2023, you may proceed with your appointment to the VAC or document drop-off location with your corrected DS-160 confirmation page.
    If your appointment was booked on or after November 15, 2023, you must bring the original DS-160 confirmation page you have used to schedule your appointment AND the corrected DS-160 confirmation page to the VAC or document drop-off location on the day of your appointment. If you are unable to bring your original DS-160 confirmation page and your corrected DS-160 confirmation page, you must cancel and reschedule your appointment by entering your corrected DS-160 application number.
