The U.S. Embassy in Colombo has announced a new requirement for all visa applicants starting May 5, 2025. Applicants must ensure that the barcode number on their DS-160 visa application form (starting with “AA”) exactly matches the one used to schedule their visa interview appointment.
If the barcode numbers do not match, applicants will not be permitted to attend their scheduled interview and must book a new appointment with the correct DS-160 form. The embassy urges all applicants to double-check their information to avoid delays.
