10 days of F1 Visa DS-160 Myth-busting, Day 1
Ten days of DS-160 Myth-busting, Day 1: You can only interview at the consulate in your home country.
This is a myth. Check out the explanation below and comment “DS160” for a link to DS-160 instructions.
Explanation: This is not a myth. It’s a common belief that you must apply within your home country. However, US consulates allow visa applications at any consulate worldwide, provided you have a legal residence or are present there legally. This flexibility can particularly benefit students studying abroad or those on extended travel. For instance, if you’re studying in Europe, you can apply at a U.S. consulate there instead of returning home.
