Prepare visa information
For J 1/J2, the required materials are passport and photo (the photo is pasted on the cover of passport with transparent adhesive), confirmation page of DS- 160 and form of DS-20 19.
Appointment of visa time
Contact the school, get the invitation letter and DS-20 19 form, and prepare your passport and photos. Pay the visa fee and SEVIS fee, fill in the DS- 160 form online and make an appointment for a visa. It is recommended to make an appointment for a visa early in the morning or late in the afternoon. There are fewer people coming in early in the morning, and the visa will be faster after work in the afternoon, saving queuing time.
Interview at the American embassy
Go to the American embassy for a face-to-face interview. The whole visa process takes a long time, and the visa officer's questions are different, which requires the applicant to be patient and take the answers seriously. It depends on the applicant's own ability.
Waiting for a visa
If it is Check, the average waiting time for administrative reconsideration on the embassy website is 3-4 weeks, so we can only wait. Generally speaking, the inspection will pass, so don't worry too much.
