Form DS 160 change after appointment date was postponed

[applet]

Hi All,

 

I had my visa appointment date scheduled for May 13, but had to reschedule on May 11. By the time, I already submitted my DS 160 form. Now I have my Visa appointment on Aug 1 (same location).

 

• Do I need to update the DS 160 Form (travel plan details and other details that may change)? 
• Can I edit the already submitted DS 160 form or start over again and work a new DS 160 form?
• If I start with a new DS 160 form, I get a new application number. How can I link it to my visa appointment (my current appointment uses application number from DS 160 form that i filled and submitted in May)?

I thank in advance for taking time to go through my questions and answering them. 

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

If you start a new DS-160 form, you will get a new application ID. Your Visa appointment date should be still good. All you have to do is , if you fill out a new DS-160 , inform the Visa Consulate about your new DS-160 confirmation number. It is not that complicated.

Thank you RPoligari,

 

So, I need to start a new DS 160 for sure. But, I dont need to update it in the existing visa appointment and just inform the visa consulate on my date on appointment that I have a new application ID. Am I correct? just wanted to double check.

 

Thank again for the reply.

Hi,

Yes, you don't have to update your visa appointment date.But you have to inform the Visa Consulate about your DS-160 confirmation number but not Application ID.
