Foreign nationals that apply for a visa abroad will need to visit a local U.S. consulate or embassy. This will usually include submitting a visa application, such as the DS-160 or DS-260, and then attending a visa interview. The entire process is usually referred to as consular processing.
Where can I find the DS-160 visa application?
The form can be accessed online on the U.S. Department of State’s website here: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/.
Where can I find the DS-260 visa application?
The form can be accessed online on the U.S. Department of State’s website here: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx.
What do I need to access the DS-260 visa application?
You will need the Case Number, the Invoice ID Number, the applicant’s full name, and the applicant’s date of birth.
Where do I find the Case Number and Invoice ID Number?
After a petition or application is approved, USCIS will normally email a notice with this information to the person that filed the form. If an immigration attorney was involved, USCIS will copy the attorney to the email.
What if I lost the notice that contained the Case Number and Invoice ID?
You can make a public inquiry with the National Visa Center (NVC) and ask them to resend the information.
