Welcome to the U.S. Consulate in Shenyang Visa Information Page!
The Consulate primarily processes non-immigrant visas for applicants who normally reside in Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, but also accepts applications from elsewhere in China, with no restrictions based on household registration (户口).
Applications for non-immigrant visas to the U.S. are reviewed at the Consulate Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:00pm, except on U.S. and Chinese holidays.
How to Apply for a Visa
U.S. visa application services will be provided to visa applicants by our authorized partner, www.ustraveldocs.com.
To learn about the visa application process, pay the visa application fee online, and schedule an appointment, please visit the visa application website. If you have received a U.S. visa in the last five years, you may be eligible to renew your visa without an interview through our newly expanded CITIC drop-box service.
