How long does it take to get an American visa? Do I have to get it myself?

Visa processing generally takes 10 ~ 15 working days, depending on the number of applicants.

The second question depends on what visa the applicant is applying for. If it is a tourist visa, you don't have to take it yourself, you can entrust an agency to take it for you. But if you are studying abroad, doing business or working, you must get the visa yourself.

Materials required for visa application:

1. electronic application form for non-immigrant visa (DS- 160).

2. A valid passport for traveling to the United States must be valid for at least six months beyond the scheduled stay in the United States. If the passport contains more than one person, each visa applicant needs to submit a separate application.

3. 2-inch x2-inch (5cm x 5cm) photos taken in the last six months.

4. In addition to the above materials, an interview appointment form should also be presented.
