DS-160: Travel Information

Official CEAC section: Travel Information

Purpose and logistics of THIS trip. Consistency between stated purpose, visa class, and interview answers matters more than the specific words.

What this section asks

1. 1

   Primary Purpose of Trip

2. 2

   Specify purpose in your own words

   One specific sentence beats vague generalities.

3. 3

   Intended Date of Arrival

4. 4

   Arrival City / Port of Entry

5. 5

   Flight / itinerary status

6. 6

   Length of stay (days)

7. 7

   Address Where You Will Stay in the US

   Specific street address — 'New York City' alone does not work.

8. 8

   Who is paying for your trip?

9. 9

   If paid by other person/host: name and relationship

Where people get it wrong

• → Sponsor answers must match reality — whoever pays will be asked how they know you at interview.
• → Your US address must be specific and match your purpose: hotel for tourists, host's home for visitors.
