New country visited after applying for a B1 visa to the US. How can I update my application?
I submitted my DS 160 for a B1 visa and was scheduled an appointment for 15 days later. In the meanwhile I traveled to a different country (Thailand) and thus my list of countries visited is not up to date. Will this be a problem?
My application is with the US consulate at Dubai.

Unless you've traveled to Syria/Iraq/Iran, I wouldn't bother mentioning it. Legally speaking you're only responsible for telling the truth at the time the form was filled.
If you really want to be on the safe side, mention that you've traveled to a new country in that period and ask them to amend your application.

However, there's no need to panic, either. 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.Can I change my visa interview to another country?
If you wish to change your interview location, a new form DS-160 is not required. The Embassy or Consulate at which you actually apply can access your form using the barcode on your DS-160 confirmation page, which you must bring to the visa interview.How do I get updates on my visa application?

As a broad rule, someone is allowed to apply for a nonimmigrant visa, such as a tourist, student, or other temporary visa, at any visa-issuing U.S. consulate or embassy. It doesn't have to be a consulate in the person's home country.Apply USA visit visa | Get USA B1/B2 visa | No embassy interview | Apply now | Major Kamran
