I am trying to complete the DS-160 and I experiencing problems. It keeps timing out on me. Help!

20 February 2010 by: visaservices

DS-160 _2The form will time out after approximately 20 minutes.   It is important, therefore, that you save the document and save often.  There is a “”SAVE” button at the end of each section; make sure that you press this before continuing onto a new section.

If you save the document and find that you have made a mistake, you will be able to bring up the saved document, correct the error and continue.  If you have not saved the document, you will be required to complete the form from the beginning.

    Hello there!

    Please can you let me know if and where I can download the ESTA and DS-160 application forms?

    I need them to gather all required information instead of entering part information and then saving to my laptop before gathering more information (required for later pages) and uploading saved form.

    I gather that the form is in .dat format, which software program is required to open the form file please?

    I also want to download the forms to prevent being timed out because I will be able to read the full form and be ready with all relevant information.

    I gather that names of educational institutes attended since age 11 and last 5 employers are required. Are these details also required for a 70 years old lady applying for a visitor visa? If so, what should we write if she cannot recollect exact details?

    Please help!

    Thanks!
