Documents Required For Scheduling A US F1 Visa Appointment
Scheduling a U.S. visa appointment in India involves two distinct phases: arranging a Biometric Appointment and scheduling the visa interview.
It is essential to book the biometrics appointment before proceeding to schedule your visa interview. Each phase comes with its specific set of required documents.
1. Begin the application process with your chosen university or college.
2. Once accepted, obtain an official acceptance letter and an I-20 form from the institution.
3. Utilizing the I-20 form, make the SEVIS fee payment of $350*.
4. Following the SEVIS fee payment, initiate the DS-160 application.
5. Conclude the process by scheduling your visa appointment through the official US Embassy Visa Slot Booking Page. (The US Embassy has moved their Visa slot booking page to a new login page https://www.usvisascheduling.com/ , from July 29, 2023. You may use your existing email ID to sign up and recreate your profile/account in the new system.)
6. Obtain your F1 visa and get ready to fly.
