Where can I find the DS-160?
You can access the DS-160 here https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ on the Consular Electronic Application Center website. It’s also helpful to preview a sample DS-160 (10.1MB) before beginning.
Having problems accessing the DS-160?
Use only Internet Explorer 11 or higher, Firefox, or Google Chrome 58 when completing your application. Safari and Microsoft Edge are not supported.
What documents do I need to have with me while I complete the DS-160?
You should have the following documents available while completing your DS-160:
- Passport
- Travel itinerary (if you have already made travel arrangements)
- Dates of your last five visits or trips to the United States, if you have previously traveled to the United States. You may also be asked for your international travel history for the past five years.
- Résumé or Curriculum Vitae – You may be required to provide information about your current and previous education and work history.
- Other Information – Some applicants, depending on the intended purpose of travel, will be asked to provide additional information when completing the DS-160.
Additionally, some applicants will need to have specific documents handy:
- Students and Exchange Visitors (F, J, and M): You will be asked to provide your SEVIS ID, which is printed on your I-20 or DS-2019. You should also have the address of the school/program at which you intend to study, as indicated on your I-20 or DS-2019 form.
- Petition-based Temporary Workers (H-1B, H-2, H-3, CW1, L, O, P, R, E2C): You should have a copy of your I-129 available when completing your DS-160.
- Other Temporary Workers: You will be asked for information about your employer, including the employer’s address.
How do I sign the DS-160 form?
You electronically sign your DS-160 by clicking the “Sign Application” button at the end of the form. Failure to sign may result in termination of the application. Your electronic signature certifies that you have read and understood the questions in the application and that your answers are true and correct to the best of your knowledge and belief. Submitting an application containing any false or misleading statements may result in the permanent refusal of a visa or denial of entry into the United States. All declarations made in the application are unsworn declarations made under penalty of perjury.
Unless you are exempt from appearing in person, your fingerprints will be electronically scanned on the day of your interview. By providing your fingerprints, you will again certify that you have answered all questions on the DS-160 truthfully and to the best of your knowledge and belief, and that you will tell the truth during your visa interview. You will be directed to read the following statement prior to having your fingerprints scanned:
“By submitting my fingerprint, I am certifying under penalty of perjury that I have read and understood the questions in my visa application and that all statements that appear in my visa application have been made by me and are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Furthermore, I certify under penalty of perjury that I will tell the truth during my interview and that all statements made by me during my interview will be complete to the best of my ability.”
Are additional forms required?
No. The online DS-160 application replaced the DS-156, DS-157, DS-158, and DS-3032, which are no longer necessary. Note: In addition to the DS-160, Treaty Trader/Treaty Investor visa applicants also must complete an additional form (see the Treaty Trader/Treaty Investor, E Visa Applicants section for more information).
What happens to my DS-160 if I select a U.S. Embassy or Consulate where I will be applying for my visa, but end up making an interview appointment instead at another U.S. Embassy or Consulate?
The Embassy or Consulate where you actually apply should be able to access your form using the barcode on your DS-160 confirmation page, which you must bring to the visa interview. For example, if a business traveler intends to apply for his visa at the U.S. Embassy in City X but then has an urgent reason to travel to City Y, he can schedule an appointment at the U.S. Consulate in City Y. The U.S. Consulate in City Y can access his DS-160 even though it lists the U.S. Embassy in City X as the intended submission location.
How can I save my application? Can I stop in the middle of the application and return to it later?
You can save your application or return to a partially completed application. When you begin a new DS-160, you will be issued a unique application ID number after selecting and answering a security question. Once you have your application ID number and have selected and answered a security question, you may exit the DS-160 application and return to it later. You must have your application ID to return to your application. To save your DS-160 to the Consular Electronic Application Center website, click the “Next” button at the bottom of each page you complete. You have 30 days to return to a partially completed application. To access your application after 30 days, you must save it to your computer hard drive or a disk, as explained in the FAQ below.
I apply for U.S. visas often. Can I reuse the DS-160?
Yes, you can use information from a previously submitted DS-160 to populate some fields on a new form. There are two ways to do this:
- Save your DS-160 to your hard drive or a disk using the instructions in the FAQ above. When you apply for your new visa, select “Option B-Upload a Previously Saved Application” on the Getting Started page.
- If your previous visa application was submitted after November 1, 2010, select “Option C-Retrieve Application,” enter your previous visa application ID, and then hit “Create a New Application.” Your personal information will then populate the form. Be sure to check that all previously submitted information is current and accurate.
