Made a Mistake on Form DS-160? How to Fix It After It's Submitted

Form DS-160, also called the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application, is the most important step when applying for temporary U.S. visas, including the B-1/B-2 travel visa. It's an electronic form and filed through an online portal, so it's hard to know how to go back and edit your application after you've submitted it.

If you need to add more information to your form, or answered a question in error, there are a few ways to edit it after you've sent it in. In this video, we'll walk you through how to edit your DS-160 responses after submitting your application electronically.

When you correct an already submitted application, do you have to pay again ?

Hi, if I retrieve and recreate but in the end do not submit the new one.. would it affect or delete the old ds 160 form linked to my application? thanks!

[vshri]

what can we do if we're unable to retrieve the first DS-160? We forgot to submit it and it expired so no longer available.

Hi, thanks for the helpful video. I put Country of Origin (Nationality) as Philippines rather than Australia and only realised once I submitted. The CEAC can find my Application ID but will not retrieve my application when I enter the correct security questions. Please help

I got the finger print done, they stamped my DS 160 and I went for the interview They asked me to get my Medicals done which I wasn’t aware of as the checklist document never came to me and I was sent back. Interim I lost the “Stamped DS 160” document so is that a problem? I don’t have a spare copy of the stamped DS 160 Please help

Hi, I mistakenly put uk as my birth place but birthplace is Ghana. What can I do pls

[varunmakar]

In the US contact section, I have mistakenly placed organisation as unknown. However I need to select my own organisation. Can this create any mess? because I have put the name of contact person in US with phone number and email ID.

Consular officer may ask how I don't know the organisation while I know every other thing.

Please advise.

Hello,
One of service has filled my application and submitted and booked a date for me. However, they told me that they entered my name wrongly. They have submitted it again and told me that i lose my previous visa interview date and booked interview date which is one week later. I 'm in a hurry as I'm going for a fall. Is it possible I lose my date. I feel like they are lying.
