1 – Filling DS160 form<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The DS160 is an online nonimmigrant visa application form, used for temporary travel to the United States. To download this form you need to create an account in the US Department of State website and start filling out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Link to the DS160 form – https:\/\/rb.gy\/s68qve<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this form, you will need to fill the details such as your personal information , job, education, travel, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You must be careful and accurate while filling DS160 because this is the form the visa officer will have in front of him\/her during your US visa interview. So your answers need to match with what you filled in the DS160.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, every person applying for the US visa should fill the form individually. So if you are a family of 3 members, then you have to fill out three separate DS160 forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important note – Don’t forget to save your DS160 and keep it on your drive or laptop, because you must know what you have filled in your ds160 for the visa interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 – Appointment booking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This appointment is for submitting your biometrics and for giving the visa interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, the US visa process in India is being conducted in 5 metro cities as follows – Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. You can choose the center which is most convenient for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you book an appointment, you will get two dates. The first one is for biometric and the second one for the visa interview. You can select them on consecutive days or even give them a day’s gap if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After booking an appointment you will be asked to pay the visa fee, which is approximately Rs.12,000\/- per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, each person applying for the US visa must reserve the appointment individually. So if you are applying to a family of 3 members, all three will need to book appointments separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link to book an appointment for submitting biometrics and for visa interview – <\/strong>https:\/\/rb.gy\/9otdcf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 – Submitting biometrics <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This process involves submitting your fingerprints and photograph in the biometric center.
