What is the DS-160 Form?
The DS-160 is the official Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application Form required by the U.S. Department of State. It collects personal, travel, and security-related information from applicants. Every detail you provide is cross-checked with your supporting documents and background information.
Why Accuracy Matters
- First Impression at the Consulate: The DS-160 is the very first document reviewed by U.S. consular officers. Any mistake, inconsistency, or incomplete answer can raise red flags.
- Consistency with Supporting Documents: The information you provide must match your passport, employment records, and other documents. Even small errors can lead to delays or denials.
- Permanent Record: Once submitted, your DS-160 remains part of your U.S. immigration history. Future applications may be compared against it.
- Security Screening: U.S. authorities use the DS-160 to conduct background and security checks. Providing complete and truthful information is essential.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Typing errors in passport numbers or personal details
- Incorrect answers about prior U.S. travel or visa denials
- Misstating employment or educational history
- Uploading an improper visa photo
- Submitting without carefully reviewing each section
