Applying for a Visa
 

International visitors add greatly to our nation's cultural, education and economic life. We continue the proud tradition of welcoming visitors to the United States, with secure borders and open doors.

You will be pleased to learn that the DS-160 will now be filled out entirely on-line, including electronic upload of photos. The new form has several advantages:

  1. Customers may save their data and return to it at a later time.
  2. Customers can save a copy of their application for themselves.
  3. The new process also involves less paper.

The DS-160 is mandatory for all NIV applicants.

It is our goal to make the visa application process as straight-forward and clear as possible. The next few website pages will assist you in preparing for your visa interview.
