Appointment Tips
Effective March 29, 2008, appointments for all nonimmigrant visa interviews must be made online. In order to make your appointment online, you must first complete and print the DS-156 visa application form, which includes a unique barcode number. On the online appointment page, enter this barcode number, your basic biographical information and passport number then select your appointment date and time. After you have finished, immediately print the first page of your appointment confirmation – you will need to present this document on the day of your interview.

Additional tips and information about the online appointment system
IMPORTANT! Each applicant may only schedule one (01) appointment at a time.
Please enter your applicant information carefully (especially your name and passport number) to ensure the information submitted is correct. After you have successfully scheduled your online appointment, remember to print out the confirmation page. If you wish to change or cancel your appointment, please input the name and confirmation ID as listed exactly on your confirmation page.
Appointment dates are currently available two months from the present date. Please note that days shaded in gray on the calendar are not available for interviews for a variety of reasons such as: weekends and holidays, full interview schedule, etc. For appointments after this two-month time frame, please return to the website at a later date to schedule your appointment.
If you need to request an expedited interview, you will first need to book an appointment online for the first available interview day. Then, fill out the Application for Expedited Visa Interview and fax a copy of the form and your online appointment confirmation page to: 08-3520-4232.
