To apply for a U.S. visa<\/strong>, a candidate should first complete the nonimmigrant visa (NIV) application<\/strong> form DS-160. The next step in the visa application process is to plan a U.S. visa appointment<\/strong>. An outline of the process of creating a profile, paying the necessary visa fee, and scheduling an NIV Consular appointment<\/strong> at a U.S. consulate in India is given here for the benefit of MurthyDotCom readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Create a Profile | NIV Consular Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, the candidate should visit the CGI Federal site<\/strong>. If the visa candidate doesn’t have an account, one can be created by choosing the “New User” <\/strong>option. If a profile has been created previously, the credentials <\/strong>can be utilized to modify a current profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When signed in, the candidate should click the “New Application”<\/strong> button on the home screen. The candidate will be required to answer a series of inquiries on the visa type<\/strong> and category being applied for, as well as the location of the consular post for the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing this section, the visa candidate<\/strong> should enter the passport details, contact data, and mailing address. If the essential visa candidate’s spouse and\/or child[ren] will also be applying, then, each family member <\/strong>can be included in the application as a dependent by selecting the \u201cAdd by Name\u201d option on the next screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing these steps<\/strong>, the visa candidate will be expected to answer a set of inquiries. Also, to determine eligibility for an interview waiver appointment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the candidate should specify the preferred method of document delivery.<\/strong> A choice can be made between picking up the passport at one of the document collection centers or opting for premium delivery<\/strong> to an address of the candidate’s choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payment of Visa Application Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the following, the candidate must choose a payment option <\/strong>from the available other options. The visa fee payment <\/strong>can be made either through an electronic fund transfer <\/strong>or by making a cash payment at a designated local bank. One business day after the payment is made, the visa candidate should enter the receipt number<\/strong> on this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling the Appointment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next screen will show a calendar for the Offsite Facilitation Center (OFC). The visa candidate can pick any of the Visa Application Centers (VACs)<\/strong> in India. For interview waiver appointments, the candidate will get a confirmation once the date is chosen. Alternatively, a candidate scheduling an in-person interview <\/strong>appointment can select a consular post on the next screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each visa candidate should guarantee <\/strong>that all data entered in the profile is right. As any discrepancies between the profile, passport data, and DS-160 data <\/strong>might require the applicant to create a new profile and repay the visa fee. This fee once paid is normally not refundable or transferable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
