The DS-160 is the online application for a U.S. visitor visa. It is on ceac.state.gov, the Department of State's site. There you fill it in and submit it online, answering in English. This comes before you book the appointment. It takes about 90 minutes. Write down the application ID, because without it you cannot return to your application. Save often. After 20 minutes without activity the session expires, and a partly completed application is kept for 30 days. Bring the confirmation page to the interview.4,5,6,7
