Once you have completed the DS-160 application, booked your US Embassy appointment ($160) and paid the SEVIS Fee ($35), the next step is to actually go to your interview!
For UK participants, you'll either be heading to London or Belfast, I went to London and made it another long weekend away! There area few things you must bring with you.
- YOUR PASSPORT
- DS-160 confirmation
- Appointment confirmation
- DS-2019
- A 5x5cm colour passport style photo taken within the last six months (if you haven't already uploaded one on the DS-160)
AT THE EMBASSY
The first queue you wait in they just check you have all the correct forms with you and are actually supposed to be there.
The second queue is to go through security and they check your form again.
Once you walk round to the queue at reception, forms are checked AGAIN and you are given a ticket number and wait in a big hall for your number to come up. Basically Argos.
When your numbers comes up on the screen, you got to the window number that comes up. Your form are, guess what, checked and fingerprints taken.
The last queue is for your actual interview and forms and finger prints. My interview consisted of "I see your advertising where you're going! Where did you get that hoodie? What you going to be doing?" and thatw as it! VISA APPROVED! (ps. I was wearing my Cast Memeber hoodie)
Overall the whole process took 30 mins - 1 hour (if I brought a recent passport picture which was a hassle and another story -_-) andthe interview itself is over in seconds... Not as terrifying as I though it would be!
