Applying for a Visa
The Consular Section of the US Consulate in Dubai has transitioned to a new appointment service for applicants applying for a visa to come to the United States. Information regarding different types of visa, applying for a US visa and the requirements to qualify for those visas can be found at http://www.usvisa-info.com/.
International visitors add greatly to our nation's cultural, education and economic life. We continue the proud tradition of welcoming visitors to the United States, with secure borders and open doors.
You will be pleased to learn that the DS-160 will now be filled out entirely on-line, including electronic upload of photos. The new form has several advantages:
- Customers may save their data and return to it at a later time.
- Customers can save a copy of their application for themselves.
- The new process also involves less paper.
The DS-160 is mandatory for all NIV applicants.
It is our goal to make the visa application process as straight-forward and clear as possible. The next few website pages will assist you in preparing for your visa interview.
