Global Usage of New Form DS-160 by Non-Immigrant Visa Applicants Expected April 30, 2010
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) reports that no later than April 30, 2010, all non-immigrant visa applicants worldwide will be required to use web-based form DS-160. The DS-160 form will combine the previous forms DS-156 and DS-157 and 158. Since not all U.S. Embassy’s and U.S. Consulates have implemented form DS-160, all consular posts that are not currently utilizing the DS-160 Web-based form will eventually be instructed to implement the DS-160 between March 1, and April 30, 2010. To review the list of the 24 consular posts currently using the new form DS-160, please visit

I really believe this form should have been critically reviewed and checked to meet certain connectivity speed owing to what connection the person uses in different past of the world before being rolled out. At same time should not automatically over right the former way of applying not until it has meet demands of applicants. The timing should be reviewed and session logging cancel. the idea for creating the site is highly appreciated but needs to be reviewed once more.. thanks
