Submitted DS-160 Appointment Confirmed but later realized that My Son's Passport Expires

Hi

Submitted DS-160 and Interview date Confirmed to Dec '16, While checking the faq’s, just crosschecked my son’s passport which expires(May 2017) in 6 months after dec '16. As per US Embassy Law we need have a Validity of 6 Months period before entering US. Currently I’m in US, How long does it take to apply Passport in US? Once we apply for renewal passport he gets New one, how do we update the embassy that, this is a new passport number and as i cannot edit the current DS-160 as I have already submitted.

Appreciate your inputs on this, hopefully you can suggest me correct way to tackle this one.

Thanks

Passport renewal should be done within 1 month. A relative recently renewed hers within 2 weeks.

When appearing for biometrics, carry both passports and let the person at the window know about it. S/he should be able to update the passport number in DS form.

Will do.Thanks for a Quick Response !!!

Got a similar case and checked with consulate.Saurabh’s answer is in right direction , but not enough today.May be it was right then. Today DS160 once submitted can not be changed. Especially passport no can not be changed.Consulate has now confirmed to me that fresh DS 160 needs to be filled with new passport no and linked to profile.I would also like to know what actually happened in 2016 from ram25. shall be thankful if you get his feedback.

Hi Sudeep, Passport number that i enetered in DS-160 which i submitted has old one, all i needed was to get the new one updated on the DS-160, i took the help of the support team the fixed in the profile and DS-160. In your case you are saying that you new need to re-enter all the DS-160 info, there is an option to copy from one DS-160 to other, no sure if this option still available. hope this helps. Thanks

Thank you very much. Information you gave was very helpful.
