Step 3 – Scheduling a visa appointment through one of our two online visa appointment systems.
All nonimmigrant visa applicants, including those applicants traveling for transit, tourism, business, or other short-term stays, require an appointment for an interview.
UAE residents only:
All applicants, children and adults, must have their own online visa appointment.
