How Do I Make an Appointment?

Before making an appointment, make sure you have all the necessary documents.  If you arrive for an appointment without the required documents, it will not be possible to process your visa. Depending on the type of visa you are applying for, you may be asked to provide additional documentation or information.  

Non-immigrant visa interviews are held on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday (there are no interviews on Wednesdays.)  

All visa appointments should be made through the following Web site: http://ksa.us-visaservices.com  

Note to Students and Exchange Visitors:

If you have not received your I-20 or do not know your SEVIS number, please enter N000000000 (N followed by 9 0s) in order to make an appointment online.  

Do You Require an Urgent Appointment?

If you have a medical or other emergency, you may access the “Emergency Appointment” option on the visa appointment Web site after you have completed the routine process and set your appointment date.  You may then submit a request for an expedited appointment date, with the justification, and you will be contacted directly if the decision is made to grant you an expedited appointment.

Note:  

We do not accept visa appointments by E-mail, Fax or telephone, except in the case of medical emergencies.  We do not accept walk in interviews or visitors.  Only those with appointments will be admitted to the Visa Section.
