The US Embassy in Nairobi has announced a series of new changes and requirements for all non immigrant visa applicants. When making the announcement, the Embassy has stated that visa appointments will be cancelled for all visa applicants who don’t adhere to the new requirements.
“To improve customer experience, all non-immigrant visa applicants are required to present the same DS-160 application form during the visa interview as was used to book the appointment,” the Embassy said in a statement. The new visa processing requirements will take effect on May 18, 2024.
“All visa applicants must locate their DS-160 confirmation page,” the Embassy declared.
You will need to log in to your account at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke to confirm the DS-160 number on your account matches the DS-160 number on the confirmation page. If the numbers match, you will then be required to attend your interview at the time you have scheduled.
If the numbers do not match, you will need to have a fresh DS-160 form. To get this, you will go to https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx and follow the instructions there to complete the new DS-160. “Print out the confirmation page for your new DS-160 so you can bring that to your new appointment,” the Embassy said.
Log in to your account at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke again, click on the gear icon at the far right end and select the edit button and replace the old DS-160 number with your new, correct DS-160 number.
“If you have any issues entering your new DS-160 number, click on Contact Us at the bottom of the webpage and follow the instructions to obtain assistance,” the US Embassy Nairobi stated.
