13 Visa Applicaio I fo aio Below is a checklist of required forms and documents for applying for a visa at most United States consulates. Please see for the most current information and requirements for applying for a visa at a United States consulate. Visa Application Checklist I-797 Approval Notice: Original Copy of I-129 Petition: Contact IFS at least (1) week prior to travel. IFS will scan/ a copy to you. DS-160: Available at U.S. Consulate I-612 Approval Notice: Original (only those who applied for 212(e) waiver.) Valid Passport: Validity through visa approved period plus six (6) months. Photo(s) - passport size: Not applicable at all consulates. Contact consulate. Recent Paystubs: Only if already in the U.S. Visa Application Fee: Varies depending on country of Citizenship. Contact consulate. MRV Fee: Machine Readable Visa fee for each applicant. Visa Application Tips 1. Approval of H-1B status does not guarantee issuance of a visa. Although you have been granted H-lB status, you could be denied a visa and therefore denied entry into the United States. 2. The consular officer will usually issue a visa valid for the dates listed on the Approval Notice. 3. If your visa expires before the validity of your H-1B approval, you do not need to apply for a new visa unless you plan on traveling outside of the United States and reentering. 4. Most nationalities may apply for a visa in most countries, which are not their country of citizenship. However, some nationalities may have an easier time applying for a visa in their home country. For more information, please go to 5. Most consulates are now requiring a personal interview before issuing a visa. Visa appointments must be requested in advance. You may have as long as one (1) month or more before your scheduled appointment. Therefore, you must preplan for this requirement before making any definite travel plans. Information must be obtained directly from the consulate in the country where you will be applying. Please see for the most up to date information. 6. Some foreign nationals may be subject to a Security Advisory Opinion (SAO), which may delay the issuance of your visa. Possible reasons for a SAO may include the field of study or work engaged in is listed on the Technology Alert List (TAL). The above Checklist and Visa Application Tips are included to assist you in gathering the necessary information and documents to apply for a visa. Due to changing requirements and variance among consulates, IFS is not able to compile and maintain up-to-date information on each consulate and individual nationality requirements. It is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate agency and/or consulate before applying for your visa. Please co tact us at if you have a y uesio s o co ce s.
