the ds-160 is a complete and utter nightmare - i literally have spent days trying to get it filled out. Session keeps timing out. you CANNOT skip information that you have already filled out and saved. You have to go throughevery single step over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again after every time out. It is a complete and utter joke. Bring back forms that you can fill out - bring back telephone lines where you can actually speak to someone!

Typical - A load of garbage. I was in the USAF early 80s and was arrested for possesion. I was released back to base in a couple of days and later honourably discharged - I have no idea what my charges were, I've never smoked the stuff and I hadn't the nerve to sell it - I have zero paperwork and almost zero recollection of events. Now I need a visa....having visited many times in between to visit my son. What a complete JOKE!!!!

did he say for temporary residence or employment. I'm looking for a visa for permanent residence and employment but I'm a little confused with all these different names for things. Please help guys.

@USEmbassyLondon still haven't fixed it yet

[gwybedyn]

ridiculous form - times out after a few seconds; try to open your passport or reach for a document and it's gone. and when you have got it filled out it refuses to upload the photo. I've been trying for days now. and the phone lines charge me $2 a minute to be told each time that there is too much traffic and my call cannot be answered!! This is a joke. Bad, bad, bad planning and criminal overcharging.
