Non-Immigrant Visa Application Form
All Non-Immigrant Visa applicants should use the DS-160 on-line application, which is accessible at the Department of State's Consular Electronic Application Centre.
After completing the DS-160 on-line, applicants must electronically submit the application. You will receive a confirmation page that includes only limited biographic information and a bar code. Applicants must bring a copy of this confirmation page with them to their visa interview. As currently is the case, applicants must make visa interview appointments through the visa appointment service.
If the DS-160 on-line application is not completed fully and properly your case cannot be processed.
Problems with NIV (Form DS-160) Application
-
The Department of State deployed an updated version of the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application on Saturday, June 25, with additional questions and improved translations in some languages. We understand some individuals are having difficulty retrieving applications started before the transition to the updated form and are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. We encourage you to be sure to record your Application ID number, which is required to retrieve your application, to save your application frequently, and to review all sections of the form to make sure every question is answered. Additional information that could be helpful in completing specific DS-160 sections is provided on the "Problems with NIV (Form DS-160)" page.
