Hi! Thanks for sharing the tips! I need help filing DS 160 for B2 visa. I have a name change case. New passport has both surname and given name. However old passport only has given name and surname is empty. In this case, how to answer the question 'Other Surname Used'? For example in old passport, Given Name: Shalini Lal, Surname: Empty. New Passport - Given Name: Shalini, Surname: Sharma. Instructions for 'Other Surname Used' section on DS 160 is "If you only have other surnames to enter, enter the same given names as above. Conversely, if you only have other given names to enter, enter the same surname as above."
Hlo mam Please reply I filled Ds 160 form and got confirmation letter But in previous education history My program start date and Attendence date is 10 August 2020 But in Ds 160 i wrote 8 August 2020 What should i do Should i fill new form or pay fee again ?
I am confused on two question. Who will be paying for my US trip? I have a funded PhD position as I was awarded a TA contract from the University. But neither in my bank nor of my parents are enough funds to support my trip i.e. VISA/SEVIS/Ticket charges. There is a charitable trust which will be taking help from various sources to get me travel grant. So, I am uncertain whether I should makr other or self? I have read somewhere that if one mentions other, then they should be ready for extra questions in the interview or with some document proof. What could be they, please suggest! And if I mention self, my bank statement should have that much amount maintained last six months, right? Second question, what should I mention in my Present occupation? My PhD start date is sept 7, and TA start date is Aug, 29 but currently I am enrolled in a distance learning diploma program which will finish by April 2023. So, should I mention student? And in duties space, can I mention that ' I have to go through the study material provided and submit assignments online'? Anticipating response.
