- All nonimmigrant visa applicants are required to schedule an appointment using the online system. However, during peak travel times, such as during summer holiday travel, the wait time may vary. We strongly encourage applicants to begin the application process well in advance of your desired travel dates. Planning the visa process well in advance of your travel date will ensure that we have plenty of time to conduct your interview, review your application, and determine whether we can issue a visa. NOTE: Only one (1) appointment per person is allowed. If you schedule more than one appointment, the system will cancel all your appointments without notice.
Note: If you need to cancel or change an appointment at any time, return to this web site and click on the "Change/Cancel Appointment" button.
