Hi Bro, very nice and detailed video. I need to ask that I mentioned the Intended date of travel while filling the DS-160 but now that date is passed. Do I need to edit the form or will it still work ? Also, Do I need to show the hotel and flight bookings as well if travelling for vacation only ?
No need to update the form, even if the date as passed they will not ask for any booking. This VISA is given for 10 years, hence they check the intent and the accuracy for basic details. US Immigration officers at US airports will ask for hotel booking and travel itinerary during your actual travel.
I don't think any of these are required. You only need a passport and the DS160 confirmation appointment letter for an interview. I will drop a short video soon. i have given a Visa interview recently and it was quite smooth if you just prepare well and not fake anything. I have applied for the B2 tourist Visa which mean no invitations no business visits. All you need to do is sound calm and genuine.
@@raghavandrapratap4836 Yes, I prepared as per the requirements mentioned on the US VISA website but they didn’t ask for any documents from me as well. Its always good to carry documents, you never know ow what they might ask from the list of docs.
Hi Bro, I recently got my B1 visa.. I see there is a two stars below my photo.. can I know the purpose of that starts and what that indicates? Is it for the detailed scrutinize on the immigration check in the airport?
Honestly even I dont know anything about it. This maybe some code/identification for the US immigration teams hence they have not disclosed any info publicly.
@@prashant1160 I found this on US dept state site. I am traveling with my family or as part of a group. Can I create a family or group application? Yes. When you select “Email Confirmation” on your Confirmation Page, you will be directed to a “Thank You” page. On the “Thank You” page you will see an option to create a family or group application. When you select this option, certain information from your application, such as destination, will automatically be imported to and displayed on a new application. Please note that if you use this option you must create an individual application for each family member or for each individual within the group. (travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/ds-160-online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/ds-160-faqs.html)
If you have the appointment then you dont need DS160 for interview. That is just required to capture all details and it is for you reference as well. During consular interview you need Interview confirmation and rest listed docs. DS 160 is not required there.
Thanks for sharing this information..i have given the interview on 17th September until now not received the passport...no idea how much time will it take.
You must follow up with the Embassy or check if there was any Bluedart message for the delivery attempt. You will be able to get it in any case if it was approved, check the status online (www.usvisascheduling.com/en-US/)
@@lifeofbhaiya thanks brother for reply.. i had selected the pick up option and daily checking the status..it's not changing from approve. Call center say wait for the notification.
@@manjahmanju5656 yes it matters, if you are going on tourist VISA then consular might ask this question. Its always good to have some stampings from other countries. My case was different as I filled the application for Business VISA being sponsored by my employer. Hence questions were different but I still had some travel history.
No lockers available in Delhi Embassy, either keep mobile, smartwatch and wallet at home and only take DS-160, passport and all important documents with you and some cash as well. Else you can ask any relative,friends to wait outside embassy with all your belongings. This process with take 1.50 hours to 2 hours only.
Sir my passport is lost. B1/B2 visa stamp was there on it. Visa stamp was put on it last year. So what is the next procedure? Will the visa stamp be put on it or will I have to crack another interview? Please reply sir, this message. I am very worried.
Honestly, I cant suggest anything apart from this process mentioned on US State Dept site.travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/lost-stolen-visas.html It captures all the details about what all should be done in this case.
Hi sir, my case is almost the same as yours. I am an Engineering Manager for a US company, and my employer is sponsoring this visa. Can you please tell me what documents are needed for sponsorship?
From the employer side, you need an invitation letter from a US Entity that mentions the reason for travel, future dates of travel, your role in the company, which will cover all travel expenses and the company's overall business. In a similar letter from an Indian entity, you need a cover letter about your role, salary, location and who will cover all travel expenses. Rest your HR should already have some templates as they might have sponsored some folks in past as well.
@@lifeofbhaiya Thank you very much sir, for the help. I have one doubt related to the cover letter. Actually, I handle the India office of the company, and my CEO, who is a U.S. citizen, is sponsoring the visa. So, I have to ask them for both letters. Can you please provide a sample letter? It would be a great help to me.
This is a sample invitation letter, manifestlaw.com/blog/invitation-letter-us-visa/. You can write some more details and get it signed. Just FYI I was not asked for any doc in my interview. But I still had all documents handy.
Yes, when you are in line for consular interview you can ask for Hindi translator, you can also ask the same from the VISA officer when you reach the window. You will not trust, there are some VISA officers who k ow Hindi as well, they also call someone to translate when they think Hindi or Punjabi translation is required.
I have shared the details in the video, sharing it again. Step 1 Complete the Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160) form. Step 2 Pay the visa application fee. Step 3 Schedule your appointment on this web page (portal.ustraveldocs.com/?). You need two pieces of information in order to schedule your appointment: Your passport number The ten (10) digit barcode number from your DS-160 confirmation page Step 4 Visit the U.S. Embassy on the date and time of your visa interview. You must bring a printed copy of your appointment letter, your DS-160 confirmation page, one photograph taken within the last six months and your current and all old passports. Applications without all of these items will not be accepted.
In step 3 when I go to take appointment date OFC calender comes first when I select and confirm it goes to consular calendar but no calender comes. Do I need to go back ds 160 form confirmation page again and then take appointment again. Pl call back if possible
I have seen an update from US Embassy India, they are working towards opening 250,000 VISA appointments for tourists, skilled workers and students. Keep trying for a consular slot, its a difficult process and patience is required. x.com/usandindia/status/1840667092355268929?s=46&t=bZO7lqc6dtRjfzPFU5QrGQ
OFC Appointment VFS ki location main hota hai Delhi main, wahan locker hota hai par is sabme time lag jayega, isliye agar koi saath jaaye to use phone and all electronics wallet dedo. US Embassy main koi locker nahi delhi main (jahan tak mujhe pata hai) isiliye 1.30 ghante pehle pohoncho aur sahi time main free ho jaoge, mobile smartwatch aur wallet ghar pe chor dena ya koi saath jaaye to use de dena bahar hi.
Haan, agar aapki company ka US main office hai to wahan se Invitation letter chaiye and all the other basic details mentioned in the video. If you are planning a personal trip, then you need an invitation letter from someone (relative or friend) to attend an important event in the US.
Agar aapne ek bhi country visit nahi ki tab bhi aapko VISA issue ho sakta hai. Iske liye aapke travel ka reason, aapke financials records and baaki information sahi honi chahiye.
@@amanagrawal4421 Business establishment documents, salary slips if you are paid. ITR docs personal if you file it. Also depends on the purpose of your visit. If it is personal trip then bank statement should have some decent amount. Your invitation letter should have all relevant details.
Hello Bro, Did you select Business and Tourism B1/B2 category or only business conference category while filling ds 160 form. I have a invitation letter for a business meeting from my employer. Please advise.
I selected Business and tourism B1/B2 in DS-160. Invitation letter from your employer should be good enough to support and ensure you arrange all additional documents as I have listed in the video.
It depends from city to city and country as well. I applied from India and Delhi Embassy in Jan and got the dates of Sep 3,5. As of now the interview dates are almost 1 year waiting in India.
Thanks bro. Do we need to carry all the supporting documents while travelling to USA. Is there any other documentation verification in the USA airport?
Generally, they ask questions regarding your travel, such as the place you will visit, the duration of your stay, and the details of your return flight. Apart from that, there is not much as you already have a US visa.

A letter of invitation for a B-1/B-2 travel visa should include the following information: Name and contact information for the host Host’s immigration status (for example, “U.S. citizen”) Relationship between the host and the visa applicant Visa applicant’s full name and address Purpose of the trip Exact dates of the trip Host’s signature Aur personal travel hai to bank a/c statement lekar jana 6 months ka atleast 10-15 lakh to dikhao account main.
