    I was filling the DS 160 for stamping however the Receipt Number IOE-XXXXXXXXXX is not recognized and throws following error.
    The USCIS assigns a unique 13 digit alphanumeric number. There are 4 USCIS service centers to handle H1B applications. The first 3 character of your receipt signifies the particular service center, where the application is being processed. They can be any one of WAC, EAC, SRC, and LIN.

I have used a facebook account who's password I have lost and had to make a new FB account, will I need to mention the older one I am currently not using ? Also, if I have used GMAIL account in the past which I deleted in the past 1 year, do I have to mention that as Well ?

    Now I want to make those corrections in my DS160 form. So my question is, Can I make changes in DS160 after taking an appointment?

So do i have to mske the payment to rectify this mistake and if not how should i fill the new DS160 form?
    I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.

    Thank you Yash. I had a doubt, in your video you've selected NO for the question, 'if you're permanent resident of any other country'. So in my case if I am a permanent resident of Hong Kong, should i be showing that in ds160 form. I mean will it reduce my any chances of getting F1 visa since i guess we have to show our roots stronger to India.

    I haven't given my details in ds160 and the session got logged off. But I made visa payment now while retrieving the ds160 it shows surname and year of birth don't match. Can I create a new ds160 and update the number in visa appointment form before my receipt number is created? Please help I'm stuck. Can someone please help

    Hi thank you for this process, I came across news that B2 visas aren't been issued and even this is confirmed from AKBAR travels. Can you please let me that if I fill out the DS-160 form for B2 today and also make the payment of $160, I won't have to reapply for the application as the application is valid for 30 days only. (this is for Indian citizens )

    If I'm taking a collatoral loan based on my dad's property, do I mention the sponsor as self or parent.
