O-1 Visa interview at New Delhi - DS-160 doubts + anyone with recent interview experiences?
Hi everyone! I'm filling out my DS-160 for an upcoming O-1 visa interview in India and have a few doubts I'd really appreciate help with from anyone who's been through this recently:
1) National Identification Number — What should I enter here? "Does Not Apply" or my Aadhaar number? I've seen conflicting answers on this.
2) Home Address — Should this be my US address or my India address? I understand the mailing address is where the passport will be delivered after the interview, but I'm unsure what to put as the home address.
3) Phone Number — US number or India number? Does it matter which one goes as primary?
4) Social Media — I have 3 Instagram accounts: a photography account, my main account, and a private account for close friends (~20 people) that I deactivated a while ago. Do I need to disclose all three, including the deactivated one? And does Reddit need to be disclosed too?
Separately - for anyone who recently had their O-1 interview at the New Delhi embassy: what questions were you asked? would be very helpful to learn from recent interviews
Also:
- What documents should I carry to the interview? (beyond the obvious DS-160 confirmation, appointment letter, passport, I-129/I-797)
- How far in advance do interview slots open up online? Trying to plan my timeline.
Thanks in advance !! happy to pay it forward with my own experience once I'm done! 🙏
