Applicants have two options: Fill out an initial DS-160 form and follow the instructions on the thank you page. The Department of States website says that financial support documents from family in the US are not necessary. Most of the information needed by the consul officer to make a decision is already on the DS-160. List yourself as form preparer on the DS-160. visa, a separate DS-160 form is required for each applicant, independent of age. Ok for you to fill out the DS-160 in English.

Everyone applies on a separate application form and pays the fee separately. The next question asked me to fill about Previous employment details - Were you previously employed? (applicable only if employed for last 5years) I choose 'NO' so i didn't have to fill anything? I choose 'RETIRED' as their current occupation. (please correct me here!) so please advice what would be the safest option?Ģ) Job Experience? My Father is Retired 7 years ago.
