The Nonimmigrant Visa Unit aims to provide an efficient application process for all visa applicants. Part
of this effort requires applicants to arrive at the US Embassy consular entrance ONLY 15
MINUTES before their interview appointment.
Strict enforcement of this rule allows applicants to avoid waiting and lining up unnecessarily outside the
Embassy for long periods of time. There is no advantage given to an applicant who arrives hours before
the interview appointment.
For the safety and security of all applicants and employees, visa applicants are NOT PERMITTED to bring
the following into the Embassy:
any kind of electronic and battery-operated devices (mobile phone, digital camera, laptop, music
player, portable game consoles such as PSP, thumb drive, mobile tablet, e-readers, and the like)
lighter and any flame-generating device
sharp objects including army-style multi-tool accessories
crayons and markers
any kind of food including chewing gum
any device with an On/Off switch
Applicants who bring such devices will be denied entry and your receipt will be locked,
preventing rebooking, for 30 days.
