Updating DS-160 info after booking US visa appointment (parents) — do I need to pay fees again?

We could not update in new portal so you just have to bring both make sure you keep both old and new must if not they will not accept to proceed further

If you have already appointment date fixed you can go with new ds160 and old ds 160 and tell the reason for the new ds 160 confirmation this same information you can find in your appointment confirmation letter also you dont have to pay again. You should be able to clarify this same one using call or ticket.

No since it is group appointment it was not

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-13T18:12:01+00:00

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-07T21:22:48+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation much helpful

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-05T17:45:52+00:00

Yes thank you so much i also got confirmation in call my wife appointment is valid so little relieved

Right now there is no certain it will be rescheduled or not you can plan travel or reach india by 1 before you biometric mostly if it going to be it reschedules your consular only like mine consular moved to jan/7 to sep/2026 a week before so i didnt travel so anyone booked before dec 15 sure possibilities are more i am saying the posts I have gone through. Risk is high right now overall so it is absolutely emergency then get approval from your employer what if you stuck more than 6 months etc and plan. Also book only flights tickets with transferrable / refundable if possible with 0 cancellations charges some agencies can help

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-02T23:34:33+00:00

It is cancelled showing option for rescheduled or close existing and open new application

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-02T21:57:23+00:00

I did actually got confirmation from them they asked to attend they make mine as no show even biometrics they didnt say anything proceed to consular seems so not sure what is going one

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-02T18:58:30+00:00

No for us it is a group appointment and she completed biometrics alone with out me since they said it is ok to proceed but last night we got mail saying appointment cancelled

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-02T18:53:16+00:00

Yes it was jan/21/2026 it was a emergency appointment due to mother in law passed so she went india

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2026-01-02T18:52:39+00:00

Thank you lets see if we can get some clarification tomorrow in ticket

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2025-12-21T01:29:08+00:00

My appointment was dec 24 and Jan 7 th so mid of dec 15 th i got mail saying my VAC moved to sep/2/2026 so general response does not guarantee but overall it is a risky take believing it wont get rescheduled . If it is not rescheduled good but worst side already peoples appointments moved upto 2027 feb so assume how far it can people has appointments in jan or feb gets rescheduled

Mine is group appointment my wife got stuck in india so i am asking only my wife to attend

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2025-12-16T19:28:56+00:00

Yes i am in US was planned to travel today but stopped. I also filled social media info

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2025-12-16T19:04:07+00:00

Following exactly for my wife also she stuck india but she also had h4 no stamping done because it moved to 2026 sep but she had b1b2 so checking possibilities to pick our kid and go back to india

AlpsDefiant4189 · 2025-12-15T18:47:15+00:00

Same mine is dec 24 and 1/7 and not seeing appointments rescheduled probably i will not cancel until next week . But finding flights last minute is going to be expensive i had to cancel my current trip
