The new DS-160 Online, Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application will eventually replace current nonimmigrant application forms DS-156, 157, 158, and other related forms, such as the DS-156E and 156K says the U.S. Department of State (DOS). According to DOS, the rollout of the new DS-160 will be gradual, therefore, not all U.S. Embassies and Consulates will be required to use the form at the same time.
