• Ensure all information on the I-20 is accurate.

SEVIS Fee Payment:

DS-160 Form:

• Complete the DS-160 (Online Non-immigrant Visa Application) form. Print the confirmation page with the barcode.

Scheduling Visa Appointment:

• Schedule your visa interview at a US embassy or consulate. Appointment slots fill up quickly, so schedule as early as possible.
• Prepare to pay the visa application fee.

Visa Interview Preparation:

• Gather required documents: passport, DS-160 confirmation page, visa fee receipt, photo, I-20 form, SEVIS fee receipt, academic transcripts, financial documents, and proof of ties to your home country.
• Practice common interview questions to confidently articulate your academic plans, financial stability, and intentions to return home after your studies.

Deadlines and Timings:

• Visa Appointment: Aim to schedule your appointment at least three months before your program start date.
• Peak Seasons: Be mindful of peak seasons (May to August) when appointment slots are in high demand.
• Interview Timing: Arrive early for your interview. US consulates typically operate from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
