New Form

[az110965 252]

Greetings all,

I'm not sure if this has been brought up in these forums, but apparently there is a new form that will be used for non-immigrant applications. According to the Department of State website, this DS-160 will be taking the place of the DS-156 and the DS-156K. For further details see this website: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/forms/forms_1342.html

About the New Online Form

The new DS-160, Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application, is a fully integrated online application form that will be used to collect the necessary application information from persons seeking a nonimmigrant visa. The DS-160 will be submitted electronically to the Department of State via the Internet. Consular Officers will use the information entered on the DS-160 to process the visa application and, combined with a personal interview, will determine an applicant’s eligibility for a nonimmigrant visa.
