Routes to the United States

آیکون مهاجرت تحصیلی

Visitor route

A B-1/B-2 visitor visa is normally issued with multi-year validity, and visitors are usually admitted for up to six months at a time. Holders can travel, see the country and attend meetings, but they cannot work or study full time except in narrowly defined circumstances.

آیکون مهاجرت تحصیلی

Study route

International students apply on an F-1 visa to study at accredited US institutions. The F-1 allows limited on-campus work during term, and practical training through OPT after graduation, which is how many graduates move on to an H-1B work visa and, later, employer-sponsored permanent residence.

آیکون مهاجرت تحصیلی

Work route

US work routes cover several categories, including the H-1B for specialty occupations, the L-1 for intra-company transfers, and the EB-3 employment-based immigrant visa for skilled and other workers.

Frequently asked questions

What is asked at a US visa interview?

Questions depend on the visa class. Student applicants are asked about their field and their university, visitor applicants about the purpose and length of the trip, and work applicants about the employer and the role.

We handle every stage: completing the forms, securing an early appointment, preparing you for the interview and giving you written feedback after a mock interview.

Yes. You can apply as a third-country national at a post outside your country of residence. Note the official guidance: if you apply at a consular section where you do not speak English or the local language, your case may take longer to process.

The MRV fee receipt is valid for one year from the date of payment, and within that year you can schedule an interview.

Bring your appointment confirmation, the originals and certified translations of your identity documents, academic records and marriage certificate, your visa fee receipt, your DS-160 confirmation page, and proof of funds or your funding letter.

Yes. Fingerprints are collected from all applicants aged 14 to 79.

Do you meet these conditions?

Have your US visa profile reviewed free of charge. A careful check before you file is what prevents a refusal and a second round of costs.

How to book a US visa appointment

In many countries the wait for a US visa interview now runs to months, and in some there is no US consular service at all, so applicants have to travel to a post in another country to submit documents and be interviewed. Slots are scarce, and if you are working to a deadline they are hard to get on your own. That is where an expedited US visa appointment service earns its keep.
Booking an appointment means creating an account in the scheduling system, completing the visa application form, paying the fees and preparing for the interview itself. Interviews are conducted in English, so being able to answer clearly and confidently matters.
Below we set out each step, so you can go through it knowing what to expect.

US visa appointment booking

Steps to book a US visa appointment

Booking an appointment runs as follows:

  1. Choose where to interview. Alongside the post covering your own country, we regularly work with the consulates in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ankara, Istanbul and Yerevan
  2. Identify your visa class, for example visitor, student or work
  3. Complete the DS-160 online through the official portal
  4. Create an account in the appointment scheduling system
  5. Enter the DS-160 confirmation number for each applicant
  6. Register a delivery address for the return of your documents
  7. Pay the visa application fee (MRV)
  8. Schedule the interview at the post you have chosen
  9. Attend the consular interview at the appointed time

What to know about the fee and the appointment

A US visa appointment is neither refundable nor transferable. You must attend the slot booked in your own name, and it cannot be passed to anyone else, including immediate family. An appointment booked in one country cannot be moved to another, so a slot in Turkey cannot be transferred to Dubai or Yerevan. You have to be there, in person, on time.

If you only want to change the date or time within the same country, you can edit the booking yourself in your scheduling account.

US visa appointment availability and wait times

At many posts, appointment calendars for student and other visa classes are fully booked well ahead. Check current availability in the appointment system for your country, and compare the published wait for each post in the global visa wait times table.
If your timing is tight, choose the interview location carefully. Some posts are heavily oversubscribed or short on capacity and have no free slots for months. Handing this to advisers who watch several posts at once saves both time and money.

At most posts the current wait for a US visa appointment is well over a month. If you are on a deadline, an expedited appointment service is the practical answer.

The US visa interview

Every visa class requires an interview with a consular officer, and the interview is conducted in English, so a working command of the language matters.
The best preparation is rehearsing the questions officers actually ask. Here are the ones that come up most often:

1- What is the purpose of your trip to the United States?​
2- Do you have friends or relatives in the United States?​
3- How are you paying for the trip?
4- Have you travelled to the United States before?
5- Which city or state will you be staying in?
6- How long will you stay?
7- Do you intend to return to your home country?

1- Why did you choose this field and this university?​
2- What are your plans after you graduate?
3- How will you pay your tuition? (for unfunded offers)
4- Why did you decide to study in the United States?
5- Why this university and this programme?
6- What do you plan to do once the course ends?
7- Who is funding your studies and living costs?
8- Have other universities offered you a place?
9- Do you know any faculty members at your chosen university?

1- Which company has hired you and what is your role there?​
2- Do you have work experience relevant to the position?​
3- What are your plans when the visa expires?​
4- Why did you choose this position?
5- What salary have you been offered?
6- Have you worked in other countries?

1- What sector are you investing in?​
2- How much are you investing and where do the funds come from?​
3- What is your business model?
4- What is your role in the business?
5- What are your plans when the visa expires?
6- Do you hold assets such as property or a company in your home country?​

How to prepare for a US visa interview

Nerves before a consular interview are normal, and almost every applicant feels them. So it is worth going over the basics, most of which you already know.
Dress formally and arrive at the consulate on time. Keep calm, and answer every question honestly and in your own words rather than with rehearsed lines. Bring the full set of documents, sorted into groups such as financial records and academic records, so you can find anything the officer asks for without fumbling.

Aval Visa services for US visa appointments

خدمات اول ویزا برای وقت سفارت آمریکا

Waiting a month or more for a US visa appointment helps nobody. Our service at Aval Visa makes that part fast and simple.
From completing the DS-160 accurately to booking the appointment itself, a pre-interview consultation with a full mock interview, and professional feedback so you are genuinely ready, we take you through it step by step. Even if you have already done part of the work yourself, we can secure an expedited US visa appointment, ranging from around three days to two or three weeks depending on availability. Our fee varies with how urgent the booking is. We are here so the process is fast, calm and predictable. To book an expedited appointment, contact us today.

Student visa appointments with Aval Visa

If you need an early appointment for a US student visa, Aval Visa is the right place to start. We recommend the posts where slots are realistically available, including Yerevan, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ankara and Istanbul, and, given how long the queues are, we prepare you properly for the interview itself. 

With waits at some posts running six to eight months, student cases need speed and precision more than ever. Many students also book at several posts at once so that a weak interview at one is not the end of the road, and that practice has made slots even harder to come by.

At Aval Visa we monitor open slots across several established posts and draw on strong experience with US student visa cases, so you can book without the stress and in the shortest time available. Our dedicated mock interview service prepares students for the real thing, so they walk in with confidence. With Aval Visa, the student visa route is smoother and better organised.

Visitor visa appointments with Aval Visa

An invitation letter and proof of funds are not enough on their own for a visitor visa. You have to satisfy the officer both that you can pay for the trip and that you will return home afterwards. The queue for US visitor visa appointments is no shorter than the student queue, and at posts such as Istanbul, Dubai and Abu Dhabi the wait can reach six months. That is why we recommend the expedited booking service.

A US visitor visa needs careful planning and sensible timing. At Aval Visa, years of experience and close knowledge of the posts we work with let us secure early, workable appointments for visitor cases. We are with you at every stage, and the decision itself always rests with the consular officer.
