Starting April 1, 2025, all visa applicants are required to present a DS-160 visa application form with a confirmation/barcode number starting with "AA" that matches the one used to schedule their interview appointment. If there is a discrepancy between the confirmation/barcode number on the DS-160 form and the one used to book the appointment, applicants will not be permitted to proceed with the interview process.
Applicants whose barcode numbers do not match will need to make a new appointment to continue with their visa application. This can be done by visiting the application site at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ge/en/. "Before your interview, please double-check that the barcode number on your DS-160 form matches the one you used to schedule your appointment," officials advise. This step is crucial to avoid delays and ensure a smooth interview process.
