Determine Eligibility

Before applying for a visa, ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria set by the US Department of State.

Prepare Required Documents

Gather all necessary documents for the visa application, including your current passport and any supporting documents. This may include proof of financial stability, ties to your home country, and a detailed itinerary of your planned activities in the US.

Complete Form DS-160

Fill out Form DS-160, the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. Provide accurate and truthful information about your personal details, and travel plans.

Pay Application Fee

Make the necessary payment for the mandatory visa application fee. The fee may differ based on your nationality and the type of visa you’re applying for.

Schedule Visa Interview

After successfully submitting your DS-160 form and paying the application fee, schedule an interview appointment at the closest US embassy or consulate. During the interview, expect questions about your reasons for visiting the US, your finances, and your ties to your home country. Be prepared to provide documentation to support your answers.

Attend Visa Interview

On the day of your interview, arrive at the embassy or consulate on time and bring all required documents with you. Answer the consular officer’s questions truthfully and confidently, and present any supporting documents that may strengthen your case for a visa.

Await Decision

After the interview, the consular officer will review your application and make a decision on whether to approve or deny your visa. If approved, your visa will be affixed to your passport, allowing you to plan your stay in the US. If denied, you will receive reasons for the decision and may receive information on how to appeal, if applicable.

Plan Your Travel

Once you receive your visa, plan your travel accordingly and ensure that you comply with the conditions of your visa during your stay in the United States.
