7: Review Your DS-160 Like Someone Else Filled It
Before submitting the form, stop.
Take a break if necessary.
Then come back and review the application slowly.
Check important details such as:
1. Your full name
2. Passport number
3. Date of birth
4. Email address
5. Travel purpose
6. Intended travel details
7. Home address
8. Employment or business information
9. Previous travel history
10.Previous visa information
11.US contact details
Pay special attention to spelling mistakes and dates.
Sometimes the biggest mistakes are not dramatic.
A wrong passport number. A typo in a date. An incorrect employer name.
Small errors can still create unnecessary stress.
The U.S. Department of State advises applicants to answer the DS-160 accurately and completely before submitting it.
And After You Submit: Don’t Forget Your Confirmation Page
Once you successfully submit your DS-160, do not just close the page and move on.
Save and print your DS-160 confirmation page.
The confirmation page contains information needed to retrieve your application and is an important part of the visa process.
The U.S. Department of State states that applicants should print and keep the DS-160 barcode confirmation page and bring the confirmation page to the visa interview.
After that, you can follow the visa application instructions provided by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you intend to apply.
For official guidance, always check the relevant U.S. Embassy or Consulate visa information for your application location and current procedures.
