How to Complete the Application:

如何完成申请:
当您准备好时,请点击下方标有“开始新申请”的按钮。请确保您已准备好护照、您拥有的其他美国签证(如果有的话)以及与您计划前往美国相关的任何其他文件。在填写申请时,您需要这些文件中的信息。
记下页面右上角显示的“Application ID”。如果您需要在提交申请之前关闭浏览器,您将需要此“Application ID”才能继续您的申请。
按照每个页面上的说明进行操作。请确保回答所有问题——如果您不回答,您的申请可能不会被接受。
您的答案必须用英语并用英文字母书写。这意味着您不能使用像ñ、é、ü或ç这样的字母。例如,不要写“São Paulo”,而要写“Sao Paulo”。这个规则只有一个例外,即当被要求提供您的全名时,您可以使用非英语字符。
当您完成所有问题的填写后,程序会让您检查答案以确保它们是正确的。请仔细阅读它们,以免出错。
点击“签署申请”按钮以电子方式签署您的申请。
一旦您检查了答案,就可以提交申请。提交时,您会在屏幕上看到一个带有条形码的确认页面。
在线提交DS-160申请表是签证申请过程的第一步。下一步是查看您计划申请签证的大使馆或领事馆的网站页面。大多数签证申请人需要预约签证面试,尽管一些申请人可能有资格续签签证。大使馆或领事馆的信息可能包括关于安排面试、提交签证申请和其他常见问题的具体当地指示。
如果您不打算在接下来的30天内完成申请,请单击最后一页底部的“保存”按钮将您的申请下载到计算机上。按照说明进行操作。当您准备完成申请时,请选择“上传申请”。
注意:仅将您的申请下载到未经您许可查看或记录您的个人数据的计算机上。如果您在共享或公共计算机上下载您的申请,例如网吧或图书馆的计算机,其他用户可能能够访问您的个人信息。
如果您以前提交过DS-160申请表,您可以使用该信息来完成新的申请。您需要从您以前提交的申请中获取“Application ID”才能这样做。要访问以前提交的申请信息,请单击“检索申请”按钮并按照说明进行操作。如果您使用此选项来完成新的申请,请确保仔细审查以确保所有信息都是最新和正确的。
常见错误:请确保您审查您的申请以避免以下请求信息区域中的常见错误:
所请求的签证类型;
当前家庭住址;
过去5年前往美国的所有旅行;以及代表您准备DS-160申请表的人的姓名(如果适用)和组织名称(如果适用)。
如果您停止在此应用程序上工作超过20分钟,您的会话将过期,除非您已记录了您的“Application ID Number”或将您的申请保存到计算机上的文件中,否则您将不得不重新开始。
备注:十年期签证
十年期签证的有效期从签证颁发之日起至护照过期前六个月为止,最长为十年。例如,如果您的签证在2016年11月11日出签,且您的护照有效期至2025年11月11日,则该签证的有效期至2025年5月11日。需要注意的是,当您更换新护照时,旧护照上的十年签证将一并失效,您需重新申请。
以中国公民赴美的十年签证为例,该类签证的内容通常包括多次往返美国的权利,签证类别为B1/B2签证,并且可以停留的天数为1-180天(由移民局官员决定)。此外,持有美国十年签证的人还可以享受到一些免签便利,比如去墨西哥、菲律宾、洪都拉斯、多米尼加、巴拿马和黑山等地旅游时可以获得一定的免签停留时间。
然而,值得注意的是,十年有效期的签证并不意味着申请人可以在美国待上十年,而是十年之内可以无限次前往美国旅行。如果您需要回国,必须重新办理相应的签证。
