Hello Mam, I was filling the DS160 form for my wife for H4. There is one section "Have you ever used other names (i.e., maiden, religious, professional, alias, etc.)?". She has only the first name in the previous passport and all her education documents. But in the new passport she has the complete name i.e. new surname after marriage and her name. So what should we choose here "Yes" or "No". If "Yes" then what should be in first name and last name.

Hi Shachi ,,how about if you pay your visa already and the ds160 you fill up the date of your travel is next month but your interview is next year is there any solution in that ??as there is no schedule in this year I just realize it

[@AkiJi]

what if i have my new passport ? but i already submit my ds160 and have my appointment schedule what should i do??

[@carrizadarcy]

Hi, the ds160 of my husband and son were done and already paid. I always thought that US PETITIONER is someone or anyone residing in the US of any status. So in the question who will pay for your trip i chose US PETITIONER (which referring to myself) and in US CONTACT, I put my name and in the question RELATIONSHIP TO YOU, i chose again US PETITIONER (which referring to me). Are these errors material to the applications of my husband and son?

Sir. My company told me to apply c1d visa. I submitted proper ds160 form. But in appointment i did a mistake. Befor 2 years j applied b1 b2 visa. That was rejected. This time i am applying c1d. When i open appointment site. There is i used same username password which i used 2 year ago for b1 b2. There was already my profile in which old confirmation number was there. I didn’t change that confirmation number. I submitted fees according to old confirmation number. What should i do now. Another all information I filled same as ds160. But did not change confirmation number I checked on google. CGI number generated according to confirmation number.

[@uzairkhan1789]

What US address should i give on DS 160. Because i can t book the hotel before actually getting the visa. Also, should i mention i have my brother living there because his family green card application is in process and both our application could affect each other and be the basis for my visa rejection.

Hello Sachi.I applied for an exchange visitor visa at one consulate. It was denied. I applied again but due to appointments unavailability , i took date of a different consulate(but same country). I knew my interview was going well but only because of my previous IV being at a different consulate, the VO denied again. Now, should i apply at the consulate i was recently denied or should i look for a date at the consulate i was initially refused? The consulate i applied for at the 2nd time was really smooth and calm , and i want to reapply there on my 3rd time. But sincere advice needed. Thank you very much. Answers would be highly appreciated

Hi. Thanks for the useful reminders. I have a doubt. If Spouse's name before marriage is Preeti Singh and after marriage changes to Preeti Prakash Sharma where Prakash Sharma is the husband's name (as well as in passport). Then what should be filled in DS-160 Spouse information? Confused because it asks for including Maiden name also.

[@ShachiMall]

DS160 should have the same name as the current passport. In the maiden name , she can mention the name before marriage.
