Hi, what if your DS160 gets expired and you have booked a slot with the old DS160. Is there a option to update it at the biometric counter?
Hi @ShachiMall. When i tried to reschedule my appointment, i am seeing RCE11 on the screen and not able to see Submit button. I have tried all the options you suggested. Any thoughts?
Thank you for the video, it was really helpful. I have a quick question - when I create a separate profile for my spouse, can I pay the fees directly from her profile? Or do I have to add her as a dependent on my profile and then pay the fees? My Spouse will be attending an interview on her own, not with me.
Hi. Have you come across an error called "Applicant's Appointment is on a closed scheduled day"? I already have an appointment, but get this error when I try to reschedule. Another challenge I am facing is there is no button for closing and starting new application on my profile. I will really appreciate any helpful insights here.
Awsome hack!
@ShachiMall PLEASE HELP ME. I am on my last reschedule I have selected my OFC appointment but cannot book a Consular appointment it is showing "No Slots Available" idk what to do now??
Hi Shachi,
I have booked my appointment with correct university but wrong sevis id and I haven’t filled my ds160 completely . So how do I update sevis id in cgi portal
Thanks for the information
Quick query though
How to book a single appointment for a family of 2?
I tried to book group but it says for minimum 10

Hi Sachi..Thanks for the valuable information..just wanted to confirm i had made my H1B visa fees along with dependents using new cgi portal..will it get updated automatically with MRV receipt or do i need to take any action from my side to get it generated?
Hi ..can you let me know what to do next as I have received email stating your consular appointment has been cancelled from US Consulate Gernal Mumbai India with reason :- w.r.t the my case number which having priority date of 17 May 2018 will not be available for any appointment in September 2023 as per the Department of State ' Visa Bulletin '
Hi ma'am
I have few errors in form DS-160, do we have to fill new form, or retrieve and edit the earlier submitted form for getting it updated at the biometrics.
Is there any way to resolve the “validation error decimal Alta’s.00000” coming on payment window when trying to claim the receipt ??
Hi Sachi while making payment its shows partially paid, moving further its show error 'The given keys was not present in the dictionary' any solution to this error
Thanks for posting the video. I got the javascript error while selecting the calendar control for my parents visa renewals and I went back and did few clicks and now it throws contact web administrator error and also the fees amount not shown up. I am afraid to close the application and start a new one as I have to pay the fee again. As you suggested to create separate profile for dependent, I can try that but do I have to pay the fee again for the dependent? Please advice.
Hi Sachi Thank you for such informative video, one of my friend take new DS160 form to Biometrics and they updated it free of cost and very fast, volunteer at VFS are very helpful and co operative
Glad to hear!
Bro… Did they asked the old DS-160 form which is used while booking? Or Only the new DS-160 form will make it right?
well they didnt asked about old confirmation at the time of our Biometrics, but as now there is new advisory from US Consulate, now they will ask for old confirmation also@@pradeepyadav-ci5qq
Thank you darling
Hi Shachi,
I got dropbox appointment confirmation email from new portal with my wife passport number with **** and last 4 digit, I am not sure how this got mapped, but I gave all my passport details are correct in DS160 and new visa portal application, when I take print confirmation page with view full passport number (after clicked eye icon ) it is showing my passport number. Before clicking the eye icon my wife passport number **** with last 4 digit is showing. Will it be any problem in the biometric OFC with my wife passport number in the email appointment confirmation?
Hi Sachi very informative content you are presenting. I appreciate that. I have a doubt the new portal - how many times we need to login per day to check availability of appointments. I am. Having unable to login after multiple login’s. Howling it will be locked..

Hello Shachi, I am facing an error with the security questions. I have forgotten the answers of the security questions I have given earlier. And contacted the support team for help they said your problem is fixed and go to the portal and check the comment in Feedback/ Requests section, But the problem is I can't able to login in to the account and it is throwing error as "security questions are changed". Can you please help on this? I have already scheduled visa appointment from that account.
Hey question
How I can update on my profile like I got interview waiver on my profile by mistake how I can fix that
Hi Mam, I have made my payment post that I mistakenly clicked on dependent option entry name but I don’t want to add. But i m not able to delete it. It’s not allowing me to go further to book an appointment for my profile.
Can you please help me on the?
Issue faced by me is as follows. When I made my application for Visa in November 2023, I was given an Interview Waiver Appointment because my earlier Visa had expired in Feb 2020 and I was eligible for the same. However when I went for the appointment on 8th May 2024, the counter staff refused to take my documents as according to them on date of Interview Waiver Appointment, I was not eligible for Interview Waiver. They told me that I should take an appointment for Interview and that there is an option on my profile to reschedule an appointment. However there is no such option on my profile and the support staff have not been able to give me any clear cut guidance on this. On the profile you can reschedule your appointment only for the same category that is Interview Waiver. Since 8th May 2024 I have been writing emails to the support staff on a daily basis and they have also been responding but all their responses are vague and pointless. Is there any way I can ask for a refund of Visa Fees so that I can then make a new application and get an Interview Date.

Hi Shachi, I have a visa appointment without any DS-160 number. I didn't get any option to fill DS-160 number while filling my visa appointment application. It proceeded for payment then scheduled the slots successfully. Is this a valid visa application where i can request at biometric center to update my confirmed DS-160. Please share your response is appreciated. Thanks.
Do you know when are The appointments going to open for June July for Dropbox at Chennai please ? I have been trying to get those since December !!!!
@ShachiMall I just filled first page of DS160 and used DS160 reference number to book the slot, now I'm trying to complete the DS160 form but upon retrieving the application it shows Expire date as Oct 31, 2023. Now my question is can I proceed with same application by ignoring expire date because visa slot booking portal doesn't have option to update new DS160 reference number. One more question is while filling DS160 I selected Hyderabad for visa where as while booking I selected Delhi for Biometric and Kolkata for Visa Interview? Thanks in advance and quick response will be much appreciated.
In my US Visa profile, I see that my first name and last name are interchanged! I have not paid the fees, but NOT scheduled an appointment. Can you suggest me how to change my given name and surname in the portal? I couldn't find any option to change or edit.
Thanks, @sachi mall, for the video. Your hack to update the passport number really worked to unblock a dependent case problem.
Glad it was helpful.
I added dummy passport number while adding dependent. Now paid fee and receipt is showing fine. But unable to edit dependent passport nbr to acctual passport nbr. Field is read only in edit profile. Please can you guide me how you updated the passport nbr again.
