U.S. visa appointment at the U.S. embassy

The appointment at the United States embassy or consulate is the last step in the application process to obtain your U.S. visa. In this part of the application process you must attend the consular interview.

Plus, in most cases, the appointment at the U.S. embassy or consulate includes taking your biometric data. In some countries, this step must be done previously at a Visa Application Center (VAC).

What are the requirements to schedule a visa appointment?

In order to start the U.S. visa application process, you must have a valid passport and the confirmation page of the DS-160 application form for a U.S. non-immigrant visa at hand (you can obtain it when you complete the form).

You must also have prepared a payment method that can be a credit card to pay the cost of the visa application fee MRV (185 USD).

There is also usually the option of making the payment in person at a bank authorized by the United States.

Keep in mind that the payment options and methods available may vary depending on the country from which you are applying for your visa.

How can I get a visa appointment?

To get a visa appointment at the United States embassy you will need to apply on the United States Department of State web site, complete DS-160 application form and follow a series of steps.

  1. Access the web site of the visa appointment service of the US Department of State and select the web site of the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country
  2. Register on the U.S. Department of State portal for your country
  3. Click on “request” to start the appointment request process
  4. Fill in your information, enter the number of the DS-160 form and the type of visa you are applying for. In this case, it’s the U.S. B1/B2 non-immigrant visa for business and tourism
  5. Select a location to receive your documentation (passport and visa if approved). Note: The U.S. consular section uses courier operators that vary from country to country.
  6. Pay the nonimmigrant visa application fee (MRV)
  7. Schedule your U.S. visa appointment (consular interview and/or VAC appointment)
  8. Attend the consular interviewon the scheduled date and time

Remember: In some countries you will need to go to a Visa Application Center (VAC) as a step prior to the appointment at the embassy. At this office, your biometric data (fingerprint and digital photograph) are collected, which are essential to obtain your visa.

U.S. visa appointment available dates

The estimated waiting time varies depending on each embassy or consulate.

The available appointment dates for your interview are affected by factors such as workload and staffing at each consular office.

On the other hand, the lack of operation during the height of the pandemic caused significant delays in the availability of appointments for the U.S. visa.

Estimated times may be updated weekly. For this reason, we advise you to consult our table with the updated waiting times according to the official information of each U.S. embassy.

Emergency visa appointment

In specific cases of unforeseen travel such as the death of a family member or the need for urgent treatment, for example, you can exceptionally process an emergency appointment for an U.S visa.

Please note that you will need to meet specific requirements and have additional documents.

Schedule your appointment more easily

schedule visa appointment

As an alternative to the official process, the USVisaWizard service includes the request for a visa appointment at the U.S. embassy. Once the DS-160 form is completed, we will schedule the appointment for you. In the event that you need to go to a VAC beforehand to collect biometric data (fingerprints and photography), we will also schedule your appointment and send the details by email.

You will receive an email to the address specified in the application form, with all the details of the appointment .

Our service also offers you the option to modify your appointment if necessary. If so, we will select the next available date that is closest to your request.
