    Can we show different sources of funding for I20 and DS160? In I20 I have marked sources of funding as Personal funds and Loan. In DS160 I am marking it as Family funds. Will that raise questions? Or should I go with personal funds in DS160 too?
    The only problem here is I am a student (fresher) and if I will be showing personal funds then they will ask from where did you get this money?

    May I proceed with the existing passport or apply for a new one and then submit it along with the old passport?
    Looking forward to hearing from you

      Yes it is the same. You can take an appointment without submitting the form. However, ensure that you submit the form before your biometrics.

    This is or F1 visa: For Fall 2022 : There has been a change in the I20 form provided by the school of admission. I have already filled and submitted DS160 and got a dropbox appointment (have a valid B1 already ) - appointment is in 3 days. Should I update DS160 with the new I20 details )SEVIS ID remains the same) - will that change my appointment? Or should I create a new DS160 - will my existing appointment be modified? Or is it better to go to the VAC and just submit the new I20 along with other documents (since the change is only the major name)?
