VISA Information

Advance travel planning and early visa application are important. If you plan to apply for a nonimmigrant visa to travel to the United States as a temporary visitor, please review the current wait time for an interview using the tool via the link below. Not all visa applications can be completed on the day of the interview; please read the information on the page for more details. 

A U.S. visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to a United States port of entry and request admission into the U.S. from a U.S. Immigration Inspector. Since September 11, visa applications have been subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. The timeframes for visa processing today are difficult to predict with accuracy for any individual applicant and could vary significantly by country. Advance planning on the part of travelers is essential to receive a visa in time for proposed travel dates to the United States.
