Nonimmigrant Visa Information

N O T I C E

(Changes to Appointment Procedures)

Effective on November 15th, applicants making visa interview
appointments via the Call Center must provide the customer service
representative with their fee receipt number, which can be identified as the red
number in the top right-hand corner of the receipt.  When the visa
applicant calls to make an appointment, he or she will be asked for identifying
information, e.g., name, passport number, and the fee receipt number.  They
will then be given an appointment day and time at the U.S.  Embassy or
Consulate of their choice.  Please note that providing the fee receipt
number will necessitate purchasing the visa fee at any branch of CITIC Bank in
advance of making an appointment, and that fee receipts are not transferable or
refundable.

For further information regarding
fees, please visit http://shenyang.usembassy-china.org.cn/visa/fee2.html

The New DS-160 Online Visa Application

Nonimmigrant Visas (NIV) are for non-American citizens and
non-legal-permanent residents who plan to travel to the U.S. temporarily for
business, education or tourism.

Dropbox system for non-immigrant visa application

Due to increasing demand for visa interview appointments, U.S. Consulate
General Shenyang strongly encourages visa applicants who are eligible for our
drop box system to take advantage of this service.  Wait time for a visa
interview is currently in excess of three weeks and is expected to lengthen
throughout the spring and summer. Visa applicants eligible for the drop box
service do not need to schedule a visa interview unless one is required for
further clearance. Processing time for applications using the drop box system is
less than 10 working days.

Please click this link http://shenyang.usembassy-china.org.cn/visa/pre2.html
to check whether you are eligible to use this service.  If you have further
questions, you may contact us by email at [email-masked]
