Nonimmigrant Visas

Visa Forms

Use of the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160) is mandatory. Once completed, the information in the DS-160 will be electronically transmitted to us. The applicant must print the DS-160 Confirmation that includes some biographical information and a bar code confirmation number. Applicants must bring the printed DS-160 Confirmation to their NIV appointment. While you are working on your DS-160, often “save” a copy on your hard drive. Fill out all required information completely and correctly, including selecting the appropriate visa type.

Your online DS-160 will be checked by Embassy staff when you check-in for your appointment. If your DS-160 is incomplete, your appointment will be cancelled. There is no way to add data to an incomplete DS-160 at the U.S. Embassy. Frequently asked questions for the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160).
