Due to time out, my application exited without completion. I failed in retrieving the application because my surname is only 4 letters. Since I already made the payment with the ID no. of the previous application, if I fill in another new form, will there be any impact on the payment?

Where are you filling the DS-160 application ? When you make a payment you get a confirmation email, check your inbox. Payment is for the original application, you cannot change it now.

The Website doesn't allow anymore to click on forgot application ID, this is what I did, I was using Chrome, for other browser find out yourself based on this steps: 1-Enable browsing offline (not necessary, maybe useful in the future) go to chrome://flags/#show-saved-copy select enable secondary 2-Go to browse cache open a tab chrome://cache/ I was able to find it in this URL https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/General/complete/complete_uscontact.aspx?node=USContact but it can be in other URL as well. search in the text for the word lblRecoveryAppID it will be located right after right here
