US Visa Application

Step 1: Complete the visa application form

Each applicant must complete the DS-160 visa application form. After completing the form, print and keep the barcode confirmation page. You will need the barcode number to schedule your appointment and must take the confirmation page to your interview.

Step 2: Pay the application fee

Choose whether to pay the non-refundable MRV application fee by credit card or cash. Follow only one payment method.

Credit card

Use the official visa appointment service to make payment and schedule your appointment. During the process, you may be asked to select a delivery or collection location for your passport.

Cash

Create an account on the official appointment website, enter the applicant’s details and continue to the payment page. Select “Pay by Cash”, then download, print and follow the payment instructions.

A cash payment may take up to two business days to reflect before you can schedule an appointment. Each cash payment slip may be used for only one transaction.

Step 3: Schedule your appointment

Once your appointment has been scheduled successfully, you will receive a confirmation letter by email. Print it and take it with you to the appointment.

Step 4: Attend your interview

Bring the following documents:

• A valid passport with unused visa pages, as well as all previous passports.
• Your DS-160 barcode confirmation page.
• Your appointment confirmation page.
• A recent front-facing 50 mm × 50 mm photograph for each applicant, if required.
• Any additional supporting documents requested for your application.

A consular officer will interview you to determine whether you qualify for a visa. Digital fingerprints are generally taken during the application process. Some applications may require additional administrative processing.

Passport delivery after approval
