Definitely, everyone who wants to go to America begins to look first and foremost in countless forums. So legends are born that a visa in the United States, which it is quite easy to obtain independently, is not available to Russian citizens, because they are not expected there, girls are not admitted to the country, considering them potential emigrants. This approach is fundamentally wrong: almost everyone can get a visa. It is important to be careful and stock up on free time.

We issue a visa ourselves

Travelers who need a visa in the United States need to make sure that they really need to apply for it. For those who want to receive a visa repeatedly, if the validity period has not expired or ended recently, there are separate instructions. The rest should follow the following plan:

• Pay a regular consular fee by credit card through the Internet.
• Fill in the regulated application for the issuance of a nonimmigrant visa (DS-160). It is submitted electronically. It is extremely important to print and save the confirmation page.
• Sign up for an interview by presenting a unique barcode number from the application submission confirmation page, the receipt number for payment of consular fees and the number of your personal passport.
• Every traveler who needs a visa in the United States independently needs to be photographed in a photo studio. To the photo there are special requirements: format 5x5 cm; Color; 60% of the total photo should be occupied by a person. Most often in photo studios are aware of these requirements, but the traveler does not need to be aware of.
• To come for an interview at the consulate or the US Embassy at the appointed time and day. You need to take with you: printout of the letter sent with an invitation for an interview; All previously issued foreign passports; A page with confirmation of the application; Valid passport and photo taken.

A visa to the United States, which it is not difficult to obtain independently, will be sent to the applicant through the "Pony Express" at the address that he indicated in the interview.

What to expect at the interview?

Regardless of whether the traveler's goal is a student or tourist visa in the United States, on which he submits the documents on his own, he must be prepared to stand in line for a long time. Usually it begins at the entrance to the embassy, and nervous and latecomers, trying to break through without queue, pretty nervous. On the territory of the embassy, where students will be issued a tourist or student visa in the US, will have to say goodbye to all the entertainment in the form of telephones, players and other gadgets. After that, participants will be given a coupon, where the serial number will be indicated. He needs to be monitored on the scoreboard and go to the designated premises where fingerprints will be removed from potential travelers. At the interview, in order to get a visa to the United States, on which he already submitted documents, he must prove a strong connection with the Motherland (marriage, various certificates from work, photos of beloved grandparents, etc.). If everything is done correctly, the questionnaire will put the cherished seal "Approved", and the traveler will only have to wait for a passport with a glued visa.
