[Karachi, Pakistan] Can I update DS-160 AFTER appointment is scheduled? I-20 changed.
Hi everyone,
I have an F1 visa interview scheduled at the Karachi Consulate in a few weeks. However, since I booked the slot, my admission information has changed (I-20 details).
I need to update my DS-160 to reflect this, but I’m terrified of losing my appointment slot, and if I lose this one, I might not get another for months.
My situation:
- There is no "Update Profile" or "Edit DS-160" button on portal.
- I have already created a new DS-160 with the updated info.
- I do NOT want to cancel and reschedule because the system shows no dates.
Questions:
- Has anyone recently (2025/2026) gone to the Karachi consulate with a different DS-160 than the one on their appointment letter?
- Did the staff at the VAC update it for you on the spot?
- If I submit a support ticket/feedback, will they update it manually or tell me to cancel?
- Is it safe to just show up with both confirmation pages (old and new)?
Any recent experiences or advice would be much appreciated!
