DS-160 is valid only for 30 days. You can fill a new one and and then login to your CGI portal and update the DS-160 form number there.

You can Include them in your DS 160 and also go with them for the interview. That means you will pay visa fee for each, fill DS 160 for each and request for i-20 for each of them

Okay if you submitted the wedding certificate when requesting for her i-20 then they will write it the way it was there. Fill her information how it is on her international passport and request for a new i-20 to match her international passport name if you can

Keep checking for closer dates, and reschedule. Closer dates will surely open up. Join WhatsApp groups that post updates on dates and you'd be fine.

I said thank you Ma and left.


I was so down after the first denial but i didnt give up,instead i resulted to prayers and started looking for a solution and i stopped asking God for visa approval instead i started thanking him in advance. Luckily for me,one day i came across a post from facebook blogger who posts about students visa journey, contacted him,so he directed me to Nairaland and from there i joined many groups.Joining NL opened my eyes to somany things and that was when I realised that i literally went for my first interview without having the knowledge of how it works.I applied to only one school which gave me admission, never knew one can apply to more than 2schools .It was when i defered my admission that I applied to two more schools.

I'm grateful to God for leading me to the right path after the delay(I always pray with matt.7:7)
Did so many vigils,Fasted,been doing mother of perpetual help novena(I never missed this novena for 2yrs now)
Divine mercy prayers and thank you Jesus prayers(@Elvis I can't thank you enough for being a channel to God's kingdom,many thanks).Thank you Dayor,my Tenesse U.S friend from NL for all your helps especially with my ds-160.@⁨Nairaland Awosemo Rasaq⁩ for helping with my transcript and mock.@Moshkom for putting me through with my ds-160 and my social media handles.

Thanks for the update, I am not sure my school will want to send a new updated I-20 because I already requested for one and they said they are not issuing new I-20 for Fall again. What if I write her name as it is on the passport and put her maiden name on the box for previous name?

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Greattestman: 4:43pm On Jul 07, 2022
I don't know much about that.But it's like each of your dependents needs to be issued i-20 and while filling ds-160, you will be directed to a page(at the end of the ds-160) .On the page you see an option to create a family/group application.After this, you will create an individual application for each individual(your dependens).

Bosses in the house knows better.

Hi, please my husband will be applying with me as dependent for fall 2022, but his passport will expire September 2022. We are in the process of getting a new passport, is it okay if I apply for 1-20 & Visa with the old passport pending when the new one is ready, before the interview date.

Any thoughts?

Filling DS-160

Towards the end of the form, I saw additional contact...

NOTE: You have indicated that you will be studying in some capacity while in the United States. List at least two contacts in your country of residence who can verify the information that you have provided on this application. Do not list immediate family members or other relatives.

Who are the two people to put? My school professors or supervisor or lecturer or colleague in the office?

Would they be called or emailed by the consulate?

DS-160 Question.

F1 Visa. If I will be traveling with my kids, do I need to mention that I will be traveling with them now in the DS160 or should I wait to get the visa first, so that they can apply for f2?

Or should I apply for f2 for them immediately and go with them for interview?

Hope this helps, the school will issue I-20 with that passport. I am in same boat. I asked my school and that gave me the 1-20. I went ahead to pay for Visa Fee. It was accepted. I am yet to fill the DS160 anyways. Someone said here that I can't use expired passport. But I need to start searching for dates before the new passport comes out.
