Your Visa
After approving your program application we will provide you
with a visa application form, DS-2019, and instructions on how
to complete it. You can pay for the visa application at your
local post office and you pay all final visa fees directly to
the US Consulate.
Visa Application Process
What do I need to apply for a U.S. visa?
All applicants must have the following:
- Step 1: To complete your online visa application,
you need a digital photo. Please read carefully
the requirements to upload your photo and
the photo specifications here.
If you do not have a digital photo or you fail to upload your photo correctly,
you may bring a photo meeting these requirements to your interview. Please see
our list
of photographers in Australia capable of making US style passport/visa photographs.
- Step 2: ALL visa applicants are required
to fill in the online
application form (DS-160).
Once completed, the information in the DS-160 will be electronically transmitted.
The applicant must then print the confirmation page that includes some biographical
information and a bar code confirmation number. Applicants must bring the DS-160
Confirmation Page to their interview.
- Step 3: Pay the non-refundable application
fee of US$131. This fee can only be paid at an Australia Post
outlet. Please advise the counter assistant that you would
like to pay the US non-immigration visa application fee. Bring
the original receipt for this payment to your interview. Only
the original receipt may be submitted to the Consulate. The
fee receipt will be retained by the Consulate, so if you require
a personal copy, please request a duplicate copy from Australian
Post. The fee receipt is valid for one year from the date of
issuance. Applicants must bring the original Australia Post
application fee receipt to their interview.
- Step 4: Payment of issuance fee: Bank Cheque
or Money Order payable to the US Consulate
General. Please check the US Consulate’s website for
current fee here.
