Step 2: Schedule an appointment
All nonimmigrant
visa applicants must apply in person and appear before a consular
officer. Visa interviews are contacted during morning hours. An
appointment made on-line is required for the interview. U.S. laws
also require that visa applicants who are 14 through 79 years of
age be fingerprinted.
A separate appointment is required for
each applicant, including those who are under 14 and over 79 years
of age. If you are the parent of a child applying for a visa, please
schedule an appointment in the child’s name. A parent or guardian
who is not applying for a visa for himself or herself does not need
an appointment to accompany the child, but will need to show evidence
of relationship.
Passports must be valid for travel to the
United States and with a validity date at least 6 months beyond
the applicant’s intended period of stay in the United States. Click

Nonimmigrant Visa Online Appointment
System
The Embassy opens nonimmigrant visa interview
appointments approximately six weeks prior to the beginning of each
calendar month. For example, interview appointments for the month
of June will be opened on April 15.
NOTE:
Visa applicants who are not Cypriot citizens or resident in Cyprus
may schedule an interview appointment ONLY
FOR TUESDAY. Appointments scheduled on other days
by applicants who are NOT Cypriot passport holders or residents
of Cyprus will not be accepted and will not be admitted.
All applicants must have a valid passport
number to schedule an appointment. The name and passport number
on your appointment confirmation MUST MATCH the name and passport
number that you bring on the day of your interview. If you change
your passport between the time you schedule the appointment and
the day of your interview, you must show your old passport. Report
any changes to consularnicosia@state.gov.
Appointments without a valid
passport number or a passport number that does not match the number
of the passport presented on the day of the interview are NOT valid
and will not be honored at the gate.
To schedule an appointment you MUST FIRST
complete the electronic DS-156
application form. Each electronic form will have a barcode
printed on the last page. You will need the 10-digit barcode number
from your printed electronic visa application form to schedule your
appointment. Please select the date most convenient for you
and make a separate appointment for each applicant.
