Submission of materials

Collect fingerprints

Will be grouped in order, waiting for the staff to call the roll, collect the fingerprints of ten fingers, and then submit the corresponding materials. At this time, the staff may ask some questions about standard questions, such as your visa type. If the answers don't match the form, they may be refused a visa and wait for the next visa. Be careful not to hurt your fingers before the visa, especially the fingerprint part, otherwise you need to go to the embassy or consulate to collect fingerprint information.

Facial sign

During the interview process, keep your eyes on the visa officer to maintain respect, ensure smooth and concise answers to questions, and submit relevant materials in time. Honesty is also particularly important. Wrong guidance, dodging eyes or presenting false materials may arouse the suspicion of visa officers, and may even be rejected permanently in serious cases.

Passport delivery

Among the materials handed in, the original documents and certificates are returned, and others are not returned. If the interview is successful, the passport will be taken away, and if it is rejected on the spot, it will be returned. If the interview is successful, the passport will be taken away. You need to fill in the address and pay the fee at the designated post office nearby. After the American visa is printed on the passport, it will be sent to your home according to the address. It takes about three days.
