★★★美国驻外使领馆将使用新DS-160非移民签证申请表★★★
◇DS-160基本介绍
| •DS-160新表是美国国务院在2010年为改进签证申请程序自动化做出的又一努力，其领事事务办公室最近宣布将在世界范围内推广使用xx网上填写的(fully
web-based) DS-160非移民签证申请表。 |
| •DS-160新表将被用于除K签证以外的所有非移民签证,
包括我们所熟悉的B类商务旅游签证和F类学生签证。 |
| •DS-160新表目前已经在24个美国驻外使领馆试点成功。 |
| •以F类学生签证为例，目前申请人需要填写DS-156、DS-157、DS-158表格，变革后的DS-160新表将以一个表格囊括前面提到的三张表的所有内容并进一步完善需要收集的申请人信息。 |
| •根据美国国务院的计划，美国驻中国大陆各使领馆（北京、上海、广州、沈阳、成都)并美国驻香港总领事馆都将在2010年3月1日前完成申请表格的“转换”,事实上，香港总使领馆已经在要求使用DS-160新表申请签证，变革已经悄然开始。 |
