Visa Categories Not Using the DS-160

Question details

Are there any visa categories for which I should not fill out the DS-160?

ANSWER

Yes. If you are applying for a visa in any of the categories below, you should complete the DS-156, not the DS-160. You must also complete the DS-156K if you are applying for a K-1 visa.  If required, you should also complete the DS-157 and DS-158.
