DS 160 expiry

[nirdes]

I have started filling DS 160 last week on 4th Nov. It expires after 30 days.

 

If I submit before 30 days and Take my VISA date after 30 days of filing say - 10th December.

 

Is there any issue with that ?

 

Do I need to take my Visa appointment within 30days of filing DS 160 ?

 

Please help

I believe you need to submit it within 30 days after creating a new application. You can take visa appointment anytime.

you can submit any time before the interview, may be it >30 days long

 

how?

 

As per the instructions provided for ds160 (below). if we save the DS 160 on  "x" day then it would be there for "x" + 30 days from the "x" day. 

Your application has been saved to the database. For the next 30 days, you will be able to retrieve your application from the database by providing the Application ID and answering security questions.

 

I havent seen any clause/rule we need to submit the DS160 in 30 days. if you guys have the info please share.. thank you..
