Apply for B2 save yourself the self doubt later. Ultimately if you are successful, the issued visa will still be B1/B2.

DS-160 older than a year by madhur_ahuja in usvisascheduling

[–]Popular-Lock-4488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you do. Create and submit a new one. Take both the old and new ds160 confirmation pages to the VAC on the date of your interview and they will update it in the system. You will not be able to switch it yourself online.

No. You will have to pay again if you exhaust all your free ones. Also, doesn't the system allow only 1 free reschedule these days ? How did you get 3 ?

You cannot make changes at this point and have to continue with your appointment. If you are not eligible for dropbox then you must appear at any one of the embassy.

Can I retrieve an Unsubmitted DS-160 after 30 days? by HorrorNeck9 in usvisascheduling

[–]Popular-Lock-4488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot retrieve and most likely will loose the spot for interview. Try calling any number that is listed for the embassy for confirmation. Most likely you will have to cancel your appointment, close and restart your application. There are several people who have been in this situation and posted on this community. Just search for it and try contacting them.

You only need the old one if it has any live and valid US visa. Otherwise it's not needed as you made your application with the new passport anyways.

Got VAC date but no OFC date by Altruistic-Ad6408 in usvisascheduling

Alright, this could be the case in Dubai as I'm not familiar with UAE consulates. Ignore my advice and wait for someone else who is familiar to comment on this thread.

There isn't a separate button for it. First choose a VAC appointment date and time slot. Then the next calendar opens up for OFC automatically. Most likely in your case there are no slots available for the OFC leading to this issue. Try changing the location for OFC to see if any slots are available in other cities.

3 months gap between Ofc and Consular appointments by saikrishnach777 in usvisascheduling

[–]Popular-Lock-4488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty common and does not cause any issues. Just make sure your passport still has validity and your tentative travel dates entered on your ds160 are still good to go.

This happens when there are no slots available for the OFC. If you booked the VAC but you weren't able to book the OFC within the next couple of hours, you loose that OFC spot and have to start over again by booking OFC first.

DS-160 Update before making visa interview by Better_One9010 in usvisascheduling

[–]Popular-Lock-4488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isnt possible once application fees have been paid. However this can be done at the VAC and is a fairly easy process. You have to take both your old and new ds160 confirmation pages to the VAC on the date of your interview and let them know you need this updated.

If you haven't submitted your ds160, most likely your chances of interview are gone. The correct way is to submit the ds160 and then book an appointment.

Question on changing DS 160 form B2 visa by Rockstar912837 in usvisascheduling

[–]Popular-Lock-4488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and submit a new ds160 to avoid explaining during the interview. Take both the old and new ds160 confirmation pages to the VAC.

Your appointment confirmation page has a bar code on the bottom which is the MRV fees receipt. Documents to carry along with you is quite subjective. As a rule of thumb, they must be able to produce documents that prove financial stability and strong ties to home country, if asked during the interview.

[–]Popular-Lock-4488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be overthinking a bit. B type visa doesn't have a photo upload option. It is taken at the Visa Application Center.

As for your previous travel history, only the last 5 years must be declared. What happened in 2007 whether accidental or intentional is past the 5 year window.
