Who fills the DS-160 ?

[XavierFR 38]

Hi,

 

Silly question but I am stucked, is it the american citizen who fills the DS-160 or the foreign citizen(french in my case) ?

 

Because it's weird they ask the social security number (which I can skip), the phone numbers can't have the (+33), etc but also they ask the citizenship so I don't know 

 

I am pretty sure it's the foreign citizen but I prefer to ask to don't fail my application

 

Thank you

DS-160 is filled out by the foreign beneficiary and it part of the visa process at the embassy stage.

DS-160 is to be completed by the foreign beneficiary.

 

The form has a SSN field because some foreigners might have gotten one while on a J1 or other type of eligible visa previously. In those cases, these people would have to fill it in. And since you never obtained a SSN before then of course the field can be skipped. 

 

For phone numbers, the field only allow numbers so all you can do is to drop the + sign. You're dealing with the local embassy where you live and the people there will know that the country code is +33 even if there's no + sign inserted.

 

Good luck with your K-1 interview!
