form ds 160... are we required to upload photo or can we proceed without photo

[paro 30]

Hi everyone,

We are trying to get visitor visa for usa from Pakistan for my sisters. My mother(usc) is very ill.

I have 2 questions:

1. Is it mandatory to upload photo while filing out the form ds 160.?

2. Can I fill out the form ds 160 on their behalf . Can I pay the fee from here?

Thank you so much in advance

Yes you need a photo.

Why can't they fill it out themselves? Its not hard.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping if we can submit ds160 without photo and then provide the photo on interview.

My sisters don't have the privileges, therfore, they can't fill out the ds 160

You can email the embassy. Some will still accept the photo stapled to the form.

Hi,

yes you can complete ds-160 without photo. what i did. i just upload photo and when its failed to meet the specific requirements it will appear you need to bring photo at the interview cause you can't proceed to next step without uploading photo.

at the end of ds-160 there is question if anyone assist you in filing out, so yes you can.
