Your preparation checklist
Start with these records. Your final checklist depends on your visa category and circumstances.
- Passport and application confirmation
- Travel or study purpose
- Financial support evidence
- Relevant employment and personal records
- I-20 and study documents for an F-1 route
How the journey works
- Select the visa category
- Complete application information
- Arrange the required appointment
- Attend interview and requested checks
- Decision and passport instructions
Interview availability and any additional processing vary. An interview appointment is not a visa approval.
Plan before you commit
Processing times, fees and document rules can change. Confirm the current category-specific instructions before submitting an application or making non-refundable bookings.
