Master Your DS-160: U.S. Point of Contact, Family, and Work History

Simplify Part 5 of Your Visa Application

Welcome to Part 5 of the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram’s DS-160 video series! We’re excited to guide you through entering your U.S. Point of Contact, Family, and Work History details, ensuring a smooth and confident U.S. visa application process.

U.S. Point of Contact: Ensure Your Safety

The DS-160 requires a U.S. Point of Contact—someone who can verify your identity, such as a friend, or the name of a store, company, or organization you’ll visit. As the “Help Contact” section notes: “Your U.S. Point of Contact may be any individual in the U.S. who knows you and can verify, if necessary, your identity.” This step, though simple, is vital for your safety and your family’s peace of mind. Choose a reliable contact and enter their details carefully to avoid complications.

Family Information: Provide Accurate Details

U.S. Immigration requires details about your immediate family back home for potential contact. Some family members’ histories or affiliations may trigger additional scrutiny, so accuracy is key. Prepare your family details in advance, and follow our upcoming screenshots to complete this section effortlessly. Save your progress if you step away to ensure a seamless experience.

Work, Education, and Training: Streamline Your Input

The Present Work/Education & Training section is straightforward but critical. Gather details about your current job, education, or training beforehand to breeze through this part. For Additional Work/Education & Training, select “Yes” if you’ve completed high school, university, college, a doctorate, master’s, or vocational program. Enter high school details first, then click “Add Another” for college or university information to build a complete profile.
