The US Embassy in Nairobi on Monday issued a new set of Visa processing requirements.
The Embassy through its X handle, formerly Twitter said applicants have until May 18 to comply.
The Embassy said the move seeks to improve customer experience.
Under the new directive, all non-immigrant visa applicants are required to present the same DS-160 application form during the visa interview as was used to book the appointment.
Non-immigrant visas are for foreign nationals wishing to enter the United States on a temporary basis.
“This can be for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, study or other similar reasons
“Failure to comply with the below will result in the cancellation of their Visa appointment,” the Embassy said.
Under the directive, all visa applicants must locate their DS-160 confirmation page.
“They will then be required to log in to their account at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke to confirm the DS-160 number on their account matches the DS-160 number on the confirmation page.
“If the numbers match, please attend your interview at the time you have scheduled,” the Embassy said.
However, should the confirmation numbers not match, applicants will be required to go to https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx and follow the instructions there to complete a new DS-160.
“They will then have to print out the confirmation page for their new DS-160 and bring it to their new appointment.
“The applicants will then log in to their account at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke again, click on the gear icon at the far right end.
“From there, they will be able to select the edit button and replace the old DS-160 number with your new, correct DS-160 number.
“Those having issues entering their new DS-160 number are advised to click on ‘Contact Us’ at the bottom of the webpage and follow the instructions to obtain assistance.
“If you fail to confirm or update your DS-160 number by May 18, the U.S. Embassy will cancel your appointment and instruct you to schedule a new appointment,” it said.
