H1b info needed for Family regarding DS-160

[satishbabug]

Hi All,

My H1b got picked as part of 2021-2022 and consultant requested to go to visa with family. I have few questions while filling ds-160.

1) do we need to fill individual ds-160 for myself/spouse/child or is my ds-160 fine for 3 of us.

2) if we need 3 ds-160, what is the payment procedure for post submission of individual file . is there anyway to do payment for all three people together.

3) What is the visa slots availability in hyderabad.. if any one has idea please share with me.

Hi Member,
Please see my response below.
1) do we need to fill individual ds-160 for myself/spouse/child or is my ds-160 fine for 3 of us.
Answer: You will need to file DS 160 for each applicant.. I mean, each person one DS 160 Application. Totally you will need to fill 3 DS-160 form separately.

2) if we need 3 ds-160, what is the payment procedure for post submission of individual file . is there anyway to do payment for all three people together.
Answer: Yes. Once you provide all the details in CGI federal portal and add family members then it will be showing total fees needs to be paid for all of them. Once you make visa fees altogether then the receipt will be automatically shown there.

3) What is the visa slots availability in hyderabad.. if any one has idea please share with me.
Answer: As per today( Dec 06, 2021) few slots were opened in Hyderabad and it got fully occupied within a minutes. You will need to continuously check the Interview calendar and book the slots.
All the best.
Thanks
