Matters needing attention in American visa interview

This is a visa-related matter. In America, in addition to visas, there are also face-to-face visas. If you are not careful, you may not succeed. This is really a huge loss. Now let's go and see how to solve the visa interview in the United States.

Determination of visa types in the United States

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of American visas: one is a non-immigrant visa and the other is an immigrant visa. For most friends, the visa type that needs to be handled belongs to NonimmigrantVisas (non-immigrant visa). Due to the limited space, this blog post will not give special instructions on immigrant visas. Let's focus on non-immigrant visas. There is more than one non-immigrant visa, and there are many others below. Applicants need to choose according to their own reasons for entry. It is recommended to log in to official website, the US Embassy in London, and determine your visa type in combination with the following table:

Annex 1: G- 1 refers to the chief representatives and members of foreign government member countries recognized by international organizations; G-2 refers to other recognized representatives of foreign government member countries; G-3 refers to the chief representatives and members of non-member countries of international organizations that are not recognized by foreign governments; G-4 refers to an official or employee of an international organization.

Annex 2: NATO- 1 refers to the permanent chief representative of the member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; NATO -2 refers to other representatives of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries; NATO -3 refers to the cooperation officials of representatives of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries; NATO -4 refers to other officials of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; NATO -5 refers to experts employed on behalf of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization mission who do not meet the conditions of NATO -4 and their entourage; NATO 6 refers to the staff and their entourage who forcibly entered under the control of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Annex 3: O- 1 refers to foreigners or athletes with outstanding abilities in science, art, education and business; O-2 refers to foreigners who partially follow O- 1 visa holders; P- 1 refers to international athletes or international performing arts groups; P-2 refers to the art or performing arts groups participating in exchange projects; P-3 refers to art or performing arts groups participating in special cultural exchange projects.

Especially the family visa requirements (such as F, M, J, H, G, etc. ) are all different. Some visas require family members to apply for related visas separately, such as F student visa, the corresponding visa for family members is F2, and the family visa for J 1 is J2, etc. However, some family members do not have family visas, so family members can only choose visas like B- 1 or B-2. Details of family visas can be found at the spouse, children and partner on the right side of each visa.

American visa application process

Official website, the US Embassy in London, clearly listed the process of applying for a US visa (as shown in the figure, the total * * * is divided into six steps:

1. Select visa type.

Select the visa type directly from the drop-down menu;

2. Confirm the entry qualification

If the applicant has been arrested, warned, convicted or medically unqualified, or has been refused entry or deported from the United States, you need to provide additional required documents.

3. Complete the DS- 160 online application form.

Click on the online application form entrance to enter the filling page. It is suggested that the language mode at the top right of the webpage should be Chinese before filling in. Although the whole page does not display Chinese, it is relatively convenient to give Chinese prompts wherever the mouse moves. Before filling in the form, please choose the interview place (choose the place where you apply for a visa). Note that the interview place should be London, England. Don't make mistakes. Be careful in the process of filling in. If the form is not submitted, the applicant can also change the error information. If the form has been submitted, you can only choose to re-enter a new DS- 160 form, so you must check it before submitting it to avoid wasting time.

Click Start Application (Start the application form and start filling it out. After the page jumps, notice that YourApplicationID (your application number and date) will appear in the upper right corner. It is recommended to write it in a notebook or mobile phone to facilitate the next information extraction. Then choose the security question, fill in the answer at the bottom of the page, and then go on. Enter the personal information page and fill in all personal information as required. For data preservation, it is recommended to save each page. Click Next after saving.

Go down step by step as required, and the last step is to upload photos. Applicants can adjust their photos to 2 x2 inches (5 1x5 1mm, higher than 600,600 pixels) with their own photos on the website dedicated to photo resizing. There are basically no special requirements for photos. Of course, the photos should not be particularly strange and unconventional.

When all these requirements are filled in/uploaded, the confirmation page of DS- 160 will appear on the webpage. Note that the application is not over yet, and the next step is to make an appointment for an interview.

4. Visit the website to make an appointment.

Visit the appointment interview website to make an appointment. Need to be reminded that the DS- 160 form must be completed 24 hours before the interview time.

After entering the interview website, you need to sign in first. If you haven't logged in before, you need to create a new account.

After entering the account, start to make an appointment for an interview. You need to enter the YourApplicationID of DS- 160 (application number, visa type, collection method (mail or collection)) when making an appointment. If you choose the Singapore service location of express-return service and mail it to the distribution office of the local express company, the applicant does not need to pay extra fees; If you choose to send it to the specified detailed address, you need to pay extra.

The next step is to pay the visa fee online and determine the interview time. Applicants are advised to leave enough time to prepare interview materials.

After the reservation is successful, a VisaApplicationInstruction page with barcode and reservation information will be printed, which is needed for the interview.

Step 5 Prepare interview materials

Applying for different types of visas requires preparing different interview materials. But in general, the following materials are needed:

1. passport;

2. British visa;

3. Two photos meeting the requirements of 2 x2 inches (5 1x5 1mm);

4. The company's employment certificate and income certificate (if there is no income certificate, submit the bank statement issued by the bank; Students need to prepare study certificates and scholarships;

5. Bank statements within three months;

6.DS- 160 Application Form Print confirmation page, email confirmation letter and visa fee receipt;

7. VisaApplicationInstruction generated when online booking is successful

8. If there are invitations (meeting invitations, invitations from relatives and friends can also be brought; The hotel does not need to book air tickets in advance, but it is recommended to list the approximate itinerary.

Set out for an interview

Prepare all the materials and give them face-to-face with confidence! Generally speaking, first come, first served, you don't have to wait until the appointed time, but don't be late. Address: 24GrosvenorSquare, London, W 1A2LQ. I believe everyone can use maps, so I don't need to explain in detail how to get there.

As we all know, the US imperialists attach great importance to security inspection, so when going to the US imperialists' site, don't bring large electronic products such as liquids and laptops, and even the car keys seem useless, so many people will leave their personal belongings in nearby pharmacies. Of course, there is a charge. By the way, there is computer printing equipment there. If you forget any documents, you can print them there.

When waiting in line for security check, a staff member will come to check whether your materials are complete.

After security check, turn right and enter the lobby to queue up to print the number. Under normal circumstances, there are many people in the lobby. A friend suggested that you can prepare a book or something to prevent waiting too long. But in fact, I personally feel that it is still difficult to calm down and read in that environment. After all, you need one ear to answer the phone.

The whole interview process will be called twice. The first time is to submit your passport, DS- 160 confirmation form and VisaapplicationInstruction generated by online booking. The second call is interview. The secret of an interview is to relax and just answer questions. Generally speaking, there are not many problems and none of them are complicated, so don't worry too much. In addition, a little reminder, the calling number is not completely correct. Although many times the called numbers are continuous, many times the numbers are not in strict order. So pay special attention to the call.

After the interview is successful, take the blue list and choose the mailing method, then pay.

Remember to go to the interview with a smile, it will be very effective!

I wish all the friends who apply for American visas all the wishes come true and the application is successful!
