With demand for U.S. visas increasing worldwide, the State Department is committed to using new technologies to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the visa application process. The web-based, non-immigrant visa application takes advantage of new technologies to better serve our visa applicants. The new web-based application replaces three applications with one “smart” form.

Beginning on Monday, April 05, 2010 all non-immigrant visa applicants will be required to use the online DS-160 application.  For more information about how to apply using the new online DS-160 application, visit the U.S. Embassy’s website at http://nepal.usembassy.gov/visas/non-immigrant-visas/applying-for-an-niv-in-nepal.html, or sign up to attend a free, public, information session at the U.S. Embassy on Friday, April 02 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. If you would like to attend, please send your RSVP by email to ConsKTMEvent@state.gov. Include in the email your full name, date of birth, telephone number, and passport or nagarikta number. We will accept participants on a first-come, first-served basis until the seats are full. You must receive confirmation from the Embassy in order to attend.
