Error on DS-160 submission

Error on DS-160 submission - Expressive angry businessman in formal suit looking at camera and screaming with madness while hitting desk with fist

I submitted a DS-160 (U.S. Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application) and received a confirmation and a barcode, but then wasn't able to make a payment because an error message said my barcode was already taken. However, I was forwarded to the page where I retrieve my DS-160. I continued and received a new confirmation and a new barcode, but this time I was able to make the payment and receive my instruction sheet along with the last barcode on it.

Do I need to take both confirmation pages with me to the interview?

On my instruction sheet I also made a mistake and entered my surnames twice, for example, John Matthew Brown Brown. Will this affect my interview?



Best Answer

You should bring only the barcode corresponding to the application that you want the consular section to consider.

When you arrive for your interview, let the consular officer know of the error in your name. They will either correct it on the spot (most likely for a minor error like this), or they will give you instructions on how to correct it yourself and schedule a new appointment.

Can I submit DS 160 twice?

Can I submit DS 160 twice? The State Department did not provide a way to go back and change a DS-160 form that is already submitted. But you can always go back online to submit a new, corrected DS-160 form, print the new confirmation page, and bring it to your interview at the consulate or embassy.

Can I edit my DS 160 before submission?

A: Generally, no. It is not necessary for the applicant to submit a new DS-160. The DS-160 can be unlocked by the consular officer for purposes of making certain changes, but the passport number in the CEAC (Consular Electronic Application Center) cannot be changed.

Can I submit DS 160 after 30 days?

You may complete your Form DS-160 over time, as long as you saved your progress. You have 30 days to return to a partially completed application and complete the DS-160. To access your application after 30 days, you must save it to your computer hard drive or USD flash drive.

How do I edit information on a DS 160 form after having booked the appointment and paid the visa fee?

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.
