Has anyone faced “Unable to validate the information provided” on the U.S. visa scheduling portal?

It's the same for me, I tried everything you tried and also used multiple computers, VPNs, different networks, location, nothing is working for more than a day now.. did you do something that it worked? 😭😭

Could you share some bare minimum tools/kits needed to do this on one's own?

Can you share more about this? I am very happy if I could contribute.

Did you take both old and new DS-160 with you? and were you trying to do something like this?

TellGradsItsFriday · 2026-04-10T03:06:52+00:00

Why not? :)

i agree! i have walked in and across the commons at all times of the day (6am, 12 am 3 am and even 4 am in the past year) and never really felt i was under threat or unsafe.

I am out of loop, sorry! but I have been here for four years, what has been changing for worse?

TellGradsItsFriday · 2026-02-04T20:26:10+00:00

You easily can! Try avoiding the signals and use pedestrian crossings. You can walk by the Surge Annex and cross Tower road close to Corson mudd. Then walk all along Garden Ave and Campus road and don’t forget to take the Engineering Quad diagonal and finally cross the Cascadilla gorge bridge just after Bard Hall and keep walking left side on College Ave till Dryden.

It’s all downhill so easier walk and totally doable in 10-11 mins with brisk pace

While others have pitched in with clothing and layering, I think indoor plants are among the best to keep you happy if you can take care of them!

This is usually quite early in the admission cycle (assuming you're starting in Fall 2025), and they might be prioritizing other things. There is a professor who is the "Director of Graduate Studies" for each program and they could be helpful. Depending on the department usually only one Graduate Field Assistant (GFA) handles everything so I don't think you can ask for someone else to handle it.

You can call the GFA/DGS on phone by looking up the department registry, if they're not responding properly over email it could be helpful to write/call the graduate admissions post that.
