Let me also correct the general notion that the DS 160 form can only be submitted minimum of 3 days before your interview..
It is not stated anywhere on the official site. You can update your DS 160 a day to and even on the day of your interview especially if the changes needed to be made is something that can make huge impact on your outcome. I actually saw 72hrs stuff somewhere on their official page while completing the DS 160 form then. it's advisable they stick to it even though there are exceptions like cases of emergency. Also from my observation they receive all applications a day to your interview but what if they decide to receive it earlier? Any serious person should have submitted atleast 48hours to their interview date unless its an emergency case. 3 Likes |

Me- thank you sir.
VO- Great, but you know that New York is very expensive.. I have been there when I went for a burial.. I couldn't hear him clearly.. I don't want you to go and struggle even though you will be given stipends.. So where are you going to stay? Your accomodation? I don't want you to stay in an uncomfortable housing?....
