1:17 this is incorrect, the DS-160 is valid for 30 days when filling out and saving. After you submit the DS-160 and print the confirmation page, it is valid for 1 year after it was submitted.

Hi guys, did you have to wait for your welcome letter from the embassy before submitting the ds-160 ? Please advise

[NanaAdjoa-obtx]

I have received my NOA 2 and K1-FTP letter through my email. I am in the United States and me fiancé is Dubai, it says his visa is in transit can I go ahead and schedule for medical appointments and interview.

[goomooshinc]

What should I do if I travel to another country after filling out the DS 160 and get the interview appointment date?

Thanks in advance

[devinlocke]

Should I wait for my packet of instructions before doing the ds160 or do i have to do it 1st for them to send me the instructions? The nvc status says ready but been 2 weeks and no email

[lanababy]

[matteoc]

I'm confused what's the difference between the DS160 and DS260?

[vipulkumar]

How can you check the waiting time for K1 visa interview appointment in your respective country?

Hello All, I started by DS 160 on March 30th 2024, booked my VISA appointment for drop box. However I haven't submitted DS160 yet, as per google it says its expires after 30 days. I have been updating my DS160 since past month. When I started the expiration date was 04/30/2024, now it says 05/31/2024. Does it mean it's still applicable or do I need to create a new DS160? There is so much conflicting info on various platform. Any suggestions, idea will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question. If the beneficiary is unemployed whilst filing the ds-160, will this affect the k1 visa approval ?

[giselle]

Thank you sooo much!! Your video was very helpful for our progress doing the K1 visa. I wish you guys the best in life!!! I had a question, is it possible to use the same photo we used for the I-129F packet to the DS-160?
