THE United States embassy in Kingston says that <span style="color: #FF0000">effective tomorrow </span>it will accept online visa applications only, doing away with the familiar paper-based DS-156 forms.
Form DS-160, the new electronic form, will be available on the embassy’s website beginning Thursday. Applicants are encouraged to begin using the new DS-160 form as soon as it becomes available.
The new DS-160 form, which will replace the current paper-based DS-156 non-immigrant visa application, must be completed and sent online and the information on the application will be electronically transmitted to the US Embassy.
The new system is expected to improve efficiency, accuracy, and security for all visa applicants.
Beginning Wednesday, non-immigrant visa applicants need only present at their interviews a printed DS-160 confirmation sheet issued at the time of the electronic filing, their passport, and a visa application fee-paid receipt from any National Commercial Bank Jamaica (NCB) branch.
The transition to the DS-160 online form will not change any other portion of the current nonimmigrant visa application process. Specifically, the processes for making an appointment and paying the visa application fee will not change and all applicants will still be interviewed by a consular officer to determine their qualifications.
Prospective nonimmigrant visa applicants should visit the embassy’s website for instructions on the complete visa application process.
