After The Visa Interview
Approved
Congratulations! Your application has been approved. Please follow these steps to obtain your visa:
• Pay visa issuance fee: Citizens of certain countries must pay an additional visa issuance fee once their applications are approved. The Consular Officer normally advises the applicant at the conclusion of the interview if an issuance fee is required. Refer to the visa reciprocity table to determine the exact cost by nationality. Fees may be paid at the Embassy in cash (QRS or USD).
• Collect your visa: Unless otherwise instructed by the Consular Officer, your visa should be available the next business day after your interview (Sunday - Thursday) at the Embassy’s main gate. You may pick up your passport yourself or send someone on your behalf (for example, a driver). In order to claim the passport(s), however, the collector must present the ticket stub(s) provided by the Officer at the conclusion of the interview.
Visit the Department of Homeland Security site to learn about the inspection process when you arrive at a U.S. port of entry. You will also be required to participate in US-Visit, a program to verify your identity using electronic fingerprint data and digital photos.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the United States.
