🤙 The US CONTACT 🤙
ONLY FOR TOURISM HOW?
I want to apply ds160 for tourist visa.. have some people in know in the US but I don't contact them recently ( 20 percentage), or some of them know me so good but never meet physically ( 20 percentage).
Answer :
In the DS-160 form for a U.S. tourist visa, it’s okay to select "do not know" for the U.S. contact section if you don’t have a specific contact in the U.S. who you’ll be visiting or interacting with. If you have contacts you haven't seen in a long time or have only met online, it’s best to either:
1. Select “Do Not Know” – This option is fine if there’s no direct, current contact you plan to meet or stay with. The U.S. Embassy understands that not everyone has a direct contact in the U.S., especially for tourism purposes.
2. Use a Hotel Address – Some applicants list the hotel they intend to stay at as a “contact” or address in the U.S. if they don’t have a personal contact.
Choosing "Do Not Know" won’t negatively affect your application as long as you’re truthful and clear about your trip purpose and plans.
OVERALL ( OUTSIDE TOURISM)
For part ' the US contact ' if I pick don't know, will that be okay?
If you have American friends or family friends whom you feel comfortable listing and who could vouch for you if needed, that would be a stronger choice. This is because listing someone you know, even if you haven't met them in person, shows a genuine connection to someone in the U.S.
However, if you’re not comfortable providing their contact information or feel that the relationship isn’t strong enough, it’s perfectly acceptable to select "Does Not Apply" in the U.S. contact section. This won’t negatively impact your application, especially for a tourist visa.
Ultimately, go with the option you’re most comfortable with. Both choices are acceptable on the DS-160.
VOUCH
"Vouch" means to confirm or support the truth of something based on personal knowledge or experience. In this context, if your U.S. contact is asked by the consulate, they could "vouch" for you by confirming your relationship with them and providing positive information about you, such as your travel plans or the nature of your connection.
In other words, they can help validate your information if the consulate wants an extra level of verification.
ONLINE FRIEND?
If you have online friends you've known for four years or family friends who are American, you can list one of them as your U.S. contact if you're comfortable doing so. Here’s how you could approach it:
1. Online Friend: If you trust the online friend and feel they can vouch for you if asked, you could list them as your U.S. contact. Include their full name, address, and phone number, but be sure they’re okay with this since they might be contacted by the consulate.
2. Family’s American Friend: Listing a family friend who is American could be ideal if you know them well enough, even if they live in the U.S. now. They might make a suitable contact if you’ve met them through your family and feel they could help verify your background.
When listing a contact, choose someone you can genuinely say you know, as it strengthens the credibility of your application. This contact information may not impact your visa outcome directly, but having a reliable U.S. contact can be reassuring for the consulate.
