People who want to apply for a temporary visa to come to the US use the online non-immigrant visa application, often known as Form DS-160. If you want to move permanently to the United States, you should not use this form. You would have to submit a green card application for that. You will be asked a number of questions on Form DS-160 about your background, your family, and a variety of other personal matters to ascertain your eligibility. These responses, along with the in-person interview, will determine whether or not you are granted a visa.

Let us help you to fill out the Form for DS-160 (Non-immigrant US Visas)

The U.S. Department of State Consular Electronic Application Center accepts electronic applications for Form DS-160. It will take about 90 minutes to complete the entire form, and you are welcome to enlist the help of others, such as a knowledgeable immigration specialist. However, unless you are excluded under US law, you must sign and submit your application electronically. If you don't know English, you can change the form's language by clicking the "Select Tooltip Language" link in the top right corner of the page. French, German, Italian, Hindi, Chinese, Hebrew, and other languages are among those that can be selected.

  • You need a dependable internet connection because you must submit the application online.
