The US Embassy in India urges visa applicants to accurately fill out the DS-160 form, the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application, following reported issues and prolonged appointment waiting times. Ineffectively completed forms after November 13, 2023, will result in denial, necessitating rescheduling. The embassy aims to curb system exploitation by visa agents and enhance overall efficiency. The DS-160, mandatory for US nonimmigrant visas, collects crucial applicant information for security checks and eligibility determination. To complete the form, applicants must provide passport details, travel history, resume, and relevant additional information based on travel purpose. Adhering to these guidelines ensures a smoother application process and reduces wait times.
