Travelers from VWP countries must have a current Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), and present an e-passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your planned departure from the United States. You may also apply for a visitor (B) visa if you prefer to do so or if you are not eligible for VWP travel.
We recommend that you apply for your visa at least three months in advance. Currently there is a mandatory security check period of 30 days for people whose passports are issued from several countries. U.S. consular offices now interview most applicants as part of the application process. Please ensure you arrive at the embassy with all required documentation at the time of your interview. Note that the ION does not intervene in U.S. State Department’s issuance of visas.
