Confusion in DS160 address and passport address - Top view of crop anonymous female with carton box of parcel checking address among envelopes

I am from India. I will be applying for F1 Visa. While filling the DS160 form I got confused about what to fill in my home address and mailing address. My present address on my passport is of the college. Now my degree is completed and I am residing now at my permanent address(home). I am confused - what should I fill in the mailing address, should the mailing address of DS160 be the same as the present address of the passport or it has to be of my home as I am currently residing there?



Best Answer

You should fill out your current address, not the one on the passport.

You do no longer live on the college address and will not (or not easily) receive mail via that address.

If you have a space to put an explanation you can mention you moved from the address in the passport. But if there is no such space, just ignore the address in the passport.

What address should I put in DS-160?

Your complete home address including apartment number, street, city, taluk or district, state or province, postal code, and country. The address to be mentioned should be the one where you have been residing for the last six months. It can differ from your permanent address mentioned in your passport.

How do I correct a mistake on my DS-160?

Although it's true that the State Department does not provide a way to go back and change an already submitted DS-160, you can go online to submit a new, corrected DS-160, print the new confirmation page, and bring that to your interview at the consulate or embassy.

How can I change my DS-160 location after submission?

You cannot make changes to the DS-160 once you have submitted it. You will need to fill out a new DS-160.

Can I edit DS-160 after taking appointment?

Correction of the DS160 confirmation number after you have scheduled an appointment is available until two business days before your visa interview. To correct the number, please log in to your profile, and select \u201cUpdate profile\u201d or contact the call center for assistance.
