Under U.S. law, the Department of State is responsible for issuing visas, and most visas are issued at the Department of State’s Embassies or Consulates abroad. A U.S. Consular Officer will review your application at the time of the interview and decide whether you qualify for a visa.

A visa does not permit entry into the United States. A visa simply indicates that your application has been reviewed by a Consular Officer at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, and that the officer determined you are eligible to travel to a port of entry for a specific purpose.

The time it takes the Consular Section to process your visa application may vary depending on:

• Whether your visa application is complete
• The amount of verification work your application requires, which may affect processing time

The Consular Section may determine that you must provide more information before a decision can be made on your application.

Some visa applications require administrative processing, which takes additional time after the applicant’s interview with the consular officer. Applicants are informed of this requirement at the time of the interview.

Applicants should be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. Legally, the visa specifies a valid period of time during which the holder may arrive at a port of entry to request admission to the United States.

At the port of entry, an immigration officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decides whether you are allowed to enter and how long you may stay on each particular visit, as part of the Admission process. Only the immigration officer has the authority to permit your entry into the United States.

A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States, but it allows a foreign citizen to travel to a U.S. port of entry and request permission to enter the country. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials of the Department of Homeland Security are authorized to permit or deny entry into the United States.

Applicants are advised not to make travel reservations until they have received their passport and visa.

If you wish to extend your temporary stay in the United States, you must file a request with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before your authorized stay expires. If you remain in the United States longer than authorized, you may be barred from returning in the future and/or you could be deported from the United States.

Yes, you must go through the entire visa application process each time you apply for a visa, even if your current visa is still valid.

The DS-160 form is for temporary travel to the U.S. The DS-160 is submitted electronically over the internet to the Department of State. Consular officers use this information, together with a personal interview, to determine the applicant’s eligibility.

Yes, you can update it up to 3 business days before your appointment, without canceling your current appointment.

Applicants interviewing at any consular section must present an Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-160) confirmation number that matches the application number used to schedule their appointment. Those who entered an incomplete, incorrect, or false DS-160 confirmation number in the visa appointment system must update it in the scheduling system at least three business days before their appointment, without needing to cancel it. Those who fail to meet this requirement will have to reschedule their interview and may have to pay new visa fees.

If you have dual citizenship and are not a U.S. citizen, you must select the nationality under which you prefer to enter the United States. You must enter and leave the United States using a single passport.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end of your intended period of stay in the United States, unless specific agreements with your country of origin provide exceptions.

You may attend the scheduled appointment and present your new passport. If you cannot obtain a new passport before your scheduled appointment date, you must cancel or reschedule a new appointment. Visas cannot be requested without a valid passport. If your passport was stolen, present a copy of the police report.

The visa is valid until its expiration date unless it is canceled or revoked. If your visa is still valid, you may travel to the United States with both passports, as long as the visa is valid, undamaged, and is the appropriate visa type for the main purpose of your trip. Both passports (the valid one and the expired one containing the visa) must be of the same type and from the same country.

Keep in mind: a valid visa is not a guarantee of entry into the United States. The final decision on entry rests solely with the CBP officer reviewing your documentation.

No. The fee you paid is a visa application fee. Everyone who applies for a U.S. visa anywhere in the world must pay this fee, which covers the cost of processing your visa application.

You may request an expedited appointment. To do so, first schedule a regular appointment on the earliest available date. Then log into your account, click "Continue", select "Request Expedited Appointment", and follow the instructions. Expedited appointments are granted at the sole discretion of the Consular Section. These are some circumstances that may be considered:

• The death, serious illness, or life-threatening accident of an immediate family member occurring in the United States.
• Urgent medical treatment for the applicant or for a minor child of the applicant.
• A student or exchange visitor (F/M/J) applicant whose I-20 or DS-2019 has a start date earlier than the first available visa appointment.
• An unforeseen need to travel to the United States for urgent business reasons occurring within 10 days of the first available visa appointment.
• An unforeseen visit of cultural, political, journalistic, sporting, or economic significance occurring within 10 days of the first available visa appointment.
• A tourism/business visitor visa (B1/B2) applicant who has received a denial from the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).

The circumstances considered for emergency appointments may vary. When you request an emergency appointment, you will see the list of accepted circumstances in the country where you are applying for a visa.

In general, only visa applicants with scheduled appointments are allowed to enter the Consular Section. Minors may enter accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.

No. It may take between 1 and 3 days for documents to be delivered once the Consular Section hands them over to the courier service.
