US unveils DS-160 Application Form for new visa requirements
Non-immigrant US visa applicants in Kenya will have to present the same DS-160 application form during the visa interview as was used to book the appointment
Non-immigrant US visa applicants in Kenya will have to present the same DS-160 application form during the visa interview as was used to book the appointment.
The US Embassy explained that failure to follow through will see their appointments revoked forcing them to re-apply afresh for appointments.
According to the US Embassy, the new visa requirement will come into full force beginning Saturday, May 18, this year.
How to Apply for a DS-160 Form
Applicants are advised to visit the non-immigrant visa application website which is part of the United States Government at the URL; ceac.state.gov/.
“The first step in applying for a U.S. nonimmigrant visa is to complete your application. It takes approximately 90 minutes to do this. After you submit your application, you can move on to the next steps such as scheduling your interview,” reads instructions on the website.
The applicant should then print out of the confirmation page for their new DS-160 so that they can bring that to their appointment.
Once you have scheduled for the interview, then log in to your account on the website ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke to confirm the DS-160 number on your account matches the DS-160 number on the confirmation page.
