DS-160 Form Guide: Field-by-Field Tips for Indians

100+ fields, 60-90 minutes, times out after 20 minutes of inactivity. Here’s how to navigate it.

Before starting: have ready — passport, US contact person details, employer details (address, phone, supervisor), educational history, parents’ details.

Save frequently: Application ID generated on page 1 — write it down. Use ‘Save’ at bottom of every page.

Photo upload: 600×600px minimum, white background, different from physical photo. Test with the online validator first.

Common mistakes: wrong travel history (officers see your stamps), social media section (don’t contradict your application), security questions (read carefully). House of Visas completes DS-160 for every US client.
