USTravelDocs Morocco Didn't Ask for Primary Applicant's DS-160 Number Before Payment. Is This Normal?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently scheduling US B1/B2 tourist visa appointments for my family of four in Morocco, and I've noticed something unusual in the USTravelDocs appointment system.

While completing the application and appointment booking process, the system asked me to enter the DS-160 confirmation numbers for my wife and children.

However, it never asked for my DS-160 confirmation number, even though I'm the primary applicant.

I've now reached the visa fee payment stage, and I'm unsure whether I should proceed.

Here's my situation:

Visa category: B1/B2 Visitor Visa
Application country: Morocco
Number of applicants: Four family members
Appointment system: USTravelDocs
Dependent applicants: DS-160 numbers requested
Primary applicant: DS-160 number not requested
Current stage: Visa fee payment

My main questions are:

Is it normal for USTravelDocs Morocco to request DS-160 confirmation numbers only for dependent applicants before payment?
Will the system ask for the primary applicant's DS-160 number after the visa fee is paid?
Could my DS-160 number already be linked to my account without appearing during the appointment process?
Is there a way to verify whether my DS-160 confirmation number is correctly associated with my appointment profile?
Could proceeding with payment before entering my DS-160 number cause problems when scheduling the interview?
Should I contact USTravelDocs support before making the payment?
Has anyone recently booked a family B1/B2 visa appointment through USTravelDocs Morocco and experienced the same issue?

I'm concerned about making a mistake that could result in payment complications, appointment delays, or problems at the visa interview.

If you've recently used the Morocco US visa appointment system, could you please share when you were asked to provide the primary applicant's DS-160 number?

I'd particularly appreciate firsthand experiences from people who booked appointments for multiple family members.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Since the visa fee is normally nonrefundable, I'd want written confirmation before paying if there's still an unresolved question about my own DS-160. You can ask support whether your confirmation number is already associated with the account and whether you'll be able to verify it on the final appointment confirmation. That seems safer than discovering a mismatch after booking.

One practical suggestion is to take screenshots showing your applicant details, the dependent DS-160 fields and the payment page where your own number is missing. Don't post your passport details or full confirmation numbers publicly. Those screenshots could help support understand the problem much faster.

The fact that you've reached the payment stage doesn't necessarily prove the application details are complete. Some booking systems validate information at different stages. I'd avoid assuming either that the number is already linked or that the next screen will definitely request it.

Personally, I wouldn't create a second USTravelDocs account just to enter the missing number. Duplicate profiles could make the booking process more confusing. I'd try checking the existing profile and asking support to review it before changing anything.

One detail I'd verify is whether all four family members appear correctly on the payment page. Each person needs a separate DS-160, including children, and B1/B2 visa fees generally apply individually. Seeing four applicants is reassuring, but it doesn't by itself confirm that all four DS-160 barcodes are linked.

Did you create your own applicant profile first and then add your wife and children as dependents? I'm asking because that might explain why the screens look different. The primary applicant's information could have been collected during the initial account setup, while the other three were added afterward. Still worth checking rather than guessing.

I would contact USTravelDocs support first, especially since you're applying for four people. Their Morocco support email is [email protected]. Explain that the system collected three DS-160 numbers but never requested yours. They should be able to clarify whether this is normal for the current booking process.

There's one important Morocco-specific rule you should know. The US Mission announced that applicants must bring a DS-160 confirmation barcode matching the one used to schedule their appointment. A mismatch can prevent the interview from going ahead. I'd make sure your own barcode is correctly recorded before finalizing the booking.

Have you checked the applicant information section of your USTravelDocs profile? Sometimes details entered earlier in the registration process aren't requested again on subsequent screens. I'd look for your passport information and any saved DS-160 barcode before assuming the system skipped it.

Youssef, I'd be cautious about proceeding with payment until you know where your own DS-160 is linked. The system requesting your family members' numbers but not yours doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. However, I couldn't find an official Morocco instruction confirming that the primary applicant's number is always requested after payment.
