Mistake in DS-160 Form

Mistake in DS-160 Form - Woman in Red Dress Reading Book

I submitted an application for a US visa as a Turkish Citizen (although I was born and raised in Germany) on a DS-160 Form at the US consulate in Munich, Germany. But I made a small mistake: when the form asked for the "Country/Authority that Issued Passport/Travel Documen:", I answered "Germany" instead of Turkey. I thought I had to choose Germany because I got my Turkish passport Form the Turkish Consulate in Germany.

This is already my second amended form, and I don't want to submit a third one. Is this a big problem?



Best Answer

This is a huge mistake.
Correct as soon as possible and hope they had not yet handled the application.

If they think you have mentioned the wrong country on purpose you can face huge problems with not only the USA visa but also visa from other countries.

Can we modify DS 160 after submitting?

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 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.

What happens if you make a mistake on your visa application?

Mistakes on application form can be disastrous. If the mistake is interpreted by officials as an attempt to mislead or deceive, the application must be refused. If the application is for an entry clearance, it will also lead to a 10 year ban on re-entry.
