The US Embassy Islamabad and US Consulate Karachi will require non-immigrant visa applicants to use a new web-based application form starting February 22, 2010. The new DS-160 application form incorporates all existing applications into one interactive, online form, replacing the forms that currently make up the Electronic Visa Application and Parental Information Forms.
In Pakistan, the DS-160 will not change the procedure for submitting application materials and nonimmigrant visa fees to American Express, but will reduce the number of forms required for submission to a single confirmation sheet. After completing the form online, nonimmigrant visa applicants should submit the one-page confirmation sheet to American Express together with a photo, passport photocopy, and the application fee. American Express will continue to schedule visa interviews.
The new DS-160 form demonstrates the US commitment to improving the efficiency and accuracy of the visa process to better serve our applicants. A link to the DS-160 form and directions for completing it can be found on the nonimmigrant visa page of the US Embassy Islamabad website at http://islamabad.usembassy.gov.-PR
