Visa reservation

Starting from July 12 and 16, the time to book a visa with the US Embassy is required to provide the number of the visa application form DS- 160 in addition to the visa fee receipt number, passport number, ID number and contact information.

Extended data

Following the request for the number of visa fee receipt when making an appointment, the US Embassy has taken another measure to limit the number of visa appointments to the United States and the time for making an appointment in advance. This means that visa applicants need to fill in the DS- 160 visa application form before the appointment time, and the details of admission institutions and other forms cannot be changed.

Because if the form information changes, the form number will also change, and the original appointment will be invalid, which brings certain difficulties to the visa applicant to agree on the ideal visa time in advance.

Because of the first-come-first-served system in the United States, experts advise students to prepare their application materials as soon as possible under the guidance of authoritative experts studying abroad, submit their applications in September and 10 at the best time, follow up their admission notice as soon as possible, get I20, determine their intended institutions, and provide accurate and confirmed visa form information quickly to avoid unnecessary troubles.

To ensure a smooth trip, please apply for a visa appointment as soon as possible (4 to 6 weeks in advance is recommended). To make an appointment, you only need to provide a copy of your passport and ID card, and whether you have applied for that type of American visa before, when and where, and whether you have signed it? Other materials of the invitation letter should be delivered to the embassy or consulate accurately and completely no later than 1 week before the interview.

The embassy stipulates that you can only make an appointment if you pay the visa fee and buy a reservation card, so you need to pay 1200 yuan first to confirm the discount.

Special note: Please don't issue air tickets without the result of visa, otherwise all the consequences will be borne by the applicant.
