The process of applying for a non-immigrant visa to the United States includes five distinct steps:
- Completing an online application called the DS-160.
- Visiting the Information and Appointment Website and register for visa services by creating an account.
- Paying the application fee at a Scotiabank. You must first register online before you can pay the fee. Here is a list of common visa application fees.
- Schedule an appointment. This can be done online via the Information and Appointment Website or by calling the Visa Call Center at (868)-224-3099 Monday to Friday, during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- Appearing at the U.S. Embassy for fingerprinting and/or interview.
Interview Waivers
- Most applicants must appear in person to their non-immigrant visa appointment.
- Applicants ages 14-79 years old will be fingerprinted during the interview. This is an
inkless, electronic process that takes just a few seconds to complete. - Certain applicants renewing visas may qualify for an interview exemption (but still need to schedule an appointment for document and biometrics submission).
- Applicants younger than 14 and older than 80 may not have to appear in person at the Embassy under certain conditions.
