Do I have to go to Beijing to apply for a US non-immigrant visa?

To apply for a non-immigrant visa, in principle, it is to apply to the nearest domicile or consular district.

To apply at the place where the account is located is to apply at the American consulate to which the account belongs.

Applying nearby means applying (working or studying) at the American consulate where you usually live, but you need to provide corresponding materials to prove that you belong to this consulate area (work certificate, temporary residence permit, study certificate, etc.). )
