Your team reviews the DS-160. We do the retyping.
Your team stays on casework. The client answers the questions on their phone, in their own language; we type every page into the Consular Electronic Application Center and stop wherever you tell us to. What your firm opens is a finished application on the government's own site, ready to read, approve and sign.
Twenty cases a month is a week of someone's time, spent retyping answers you already have.
- We can file all the way to signature, or stop earlier so your firm keeps final control.
- $15 a case. No seat licences, no subscription, no minimum.
- A record of what the consular site showed and what was filed.
Who is this for?
- Your staff retype client answers into the consular site
- You have repeat clients — a TN today, an E-2 three years from now
- Your immigration software's e-filing keeps falling over
- You are paying a subscription in the months you barely use it
Someone has already measured this: two hours a case, down to five minutes
Start now! Don't wait until tomorrow.
VizeAmerica is a visa agency, not a law firm, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What they measured is the part that is identical either way — a client's answers going into the consular site, page by page. The review and the signature they hand us, your firm keeps.
Read the full case studyYour team stays on casework
Five stages sit between a client's answers and a filed DS-160. Three of them stop being your firm's work. Two of them are judgment, and they stay exactly where they are.
| Today | With ds160.io | |
|---|---|---|
| Collecting the answers | An intake call, then a fortnight of follow-up emails for the answers nobody gave. | The client answers on their phone, in their own language, and it saves as they type. |
| Typing them into the consular site | Twenty to twenty-five minutes a case, copying out answers your firm already has. | Ours. Every page, captchas included. |
| The consular site timing out mid-form | Back to the Application ID, find the page you lost, start typing again. | Ours. The run picks itself up and carries on. |
| Reading the application backStays with your firm | Against the questionnaire, on screen, hoping the typing was faithful. | Against the finished application on the government's own site, with a PDF of every page in the file. |
| Signing and submittingStays with your firm | Your firm. | Your firm, at ceac.state.gov. One security code to type. |
The judgment stays with your firm. The retyping doesn't.
What the retyping costs you a month
| Cases a month | Staff hours it takes | Cost to buy it back |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | ~35 h | $300 |
| 50 | ~88 h | $750 |
| 100 | ~175 h | $1,500 |
$15 a case buys back about an hour and three quarters of someone's afternoon. At fifty cases a month that is eighty-eight hours against $750, and the eighty-eight hours are the ones nobody at the firm wanted.
An hour and three quarters is the intake, the chasing and the typing into the consular site; two hours is the whole job, read-back included. Your own read-back is not counted as time saved, because your firm still does it — that is the point of stopping before the signature.
Prove it on one real case before you change anything
Nothing about the way you work now has to move until you have watched one filing come out right.
Run one case in parallel
Your first case is free. Run your next DS-160 here alongside your current process and compare the two. If it is not obviously better, you have paid nothing and changed nothing.
E-file broken and cases waiting?
When your case system's e-filing breaks, your cases wait on someone else's release cycle. Send the client the questionnaire instead. The DS-160 is the only thing we work on, and we fix what breaks on it within 24 hours.
Priced on your cases, not your seats
$15 a case — one applicant, one DS-160 — billed monthly to the matter. No seat licences: add the whole firm, and a month you file nothing costs nothing.
We don't hand you a login and disappear
We are on hand for your first live filings, and if you are coming from another system, tell us what you have under way and we will help you get the firm running on it.
You do not need to
- Replace your case management system
- Move the matters you have open
- Train the whole firm
- Sign up to anything monthly
- Let software sign for your client
How it works
Four steps, from the link you send to the application your firm submits.
Collect the information once
Send each client their own link. They answer the DS-160 questions on their phone, in their own language, and every keystroke saves as they type — so nobody reads a passport number down a phone line. The page carries your logo, your domain and your email address.
Review instead of retyping
The answers arrive in your dashboard, translated into English where the client wrote in another language. Read them, correct what needs correcting, approve. Nobody retypes eighty fields into the consular site.
We enter every page and stop before signature
Every page goes into the official DS-160 site, captchas and timeouts included, and is saved as a PDF you can read and keep. With Stop before signing on, the application waits there, unsigned. Nothing has been submitted to anyone.
Your firm reviews it, the client approves, you submit
The submission reads Ready to sign, with the Application ID, and whoever started it gets an email. Open the finished application at ceac.state.gov and read it against the file. Send the client the PDF to approve. Then sign and submit it yourself: one security code to type, and nothing filed that nobody read.
Enter a client once. Never again.
The first DS-160 for a client is answered once — usually by the client, in their own language. Every application after it starts as a clone of that one: tick the sections that still hold, redo the ones that changed.
A client you filed on a TN three years ago is back, this time on an E-2. Different visa, different trip, same person: the personal details, the family, the previous travel and the work history are already there, so your staff redo what changed and nothing else. A family of five travelling together works the same way — one questionnaire, four clones.
Cloning reuses applications that are already in ds160.io. A DS-160 filed somewhere else cannot be imported yet, so a client you are bringing across is entered here once and reused from then on. Moving a batch? Tell us what you have and we will help.

The questions firms ask first
What happens to the signature, to the record, and to the client who doesn't read English.
Software that signs a client's application before anyone has read it.
It stops before signature, not after
Turn on Stop before signing and we fill in and check every page, then stop. Your team opens the completed application on the official site, reviews it, has the client approve it, and signs it there.
Everyone filing their own way.
Set the filing policy once for the firm
Owners and admins decide whether applications stop for review before signature, what the consular security answer is, and what goes in the preparer section — once, for the whole workspace, instead of per person per form.
Days lost chasing clients for answers.
Each client gets their own link
Send the link. They answer the questionnaire. It arrives in your dashboard for review and amendment, then goes out for filing.
DS-160 filing as one small feature of a large system.
The DS-160 is not on our roadmap. It is the roadmap.
One form is all we do. When the consular site adds a question, renames a page or changes what an E visa has to answer, that is the week's work — not a ticket queued behind someone else's billing module.
We take DS-160 data entry and consular filing off your team
Not a dashboard for your staff to operate. The job itself, from the client's first answer to the confirmation page in the file.
- A link for every clientSent from your address, with reminders for the ones who never open it. Answers save as the client types, so a closed tab costs nothing.
- A questionnaire in 10 languagesEnglish, Русский, Română, Español, 中文, Tiếng Việt, हिन्दी, Nederlands, Português, Français. Whatever they write comes back to you in English.
- Your name on it, not oursYour logo, your domain, your email address. The client never sees ds160.io.
- Review and approvalEvery answer is yours to correct first, and you can attach your own guidance to any question clients keep getting wrong.
- The filing itselfWe fill in every page of the official form, captchas included, and keep going when the site times out or throws you back to the start.
- The confirmation pageThe Application ID and confirmation page, in your dashboard the moment the filing lands.
- A PDF of what was filedEvery page as the consular site showed it back. Keep it in the client file or send it on.
- Returning clients and familiesClone a previous application and change what moved — whether the client is back in three weeks or three years. Fill in one family member and clone them for the rest of the household.
- Stop before signingOptional: we fill in and check every page, then leave the signature to your team at ceac.state.gov.
- Help getting your cases overMoving from another system, or part-way through a batch? Tell us what you have and we'll help you bring it across.
$15 a case — one applicant, one DS-160 — and your first one is free. What you pay tracks the cases you file, not the people you employ.
Unlimited team members, document storage, a history of every field change, and an API if you'd rather create client links from your own system. No subscription, no seat licences, no minimum.
For immigration firms: keep your team on casework
Your staff stay on casework instead of consular data entry, and the signature stays where it belongs. Turn on Stop before signing and nothing is signed until someone at the firm has read the application at the source.
For visa agencies: file more without hiring
Take the busy season without hiring for it. The same preparers handle several times the applications, and the group booking that used to eat a week stops being an emergency.

E-filing built into case management varies by product and by visa type, and some of it fills part of the DS-160 and leaves the rest to whoever is at the keyboard. The middle column assumes that: the software does some of the typing, your team does the intake, the corrections and the finishing. Check yours against the rows above before you compare prices.
