NIV Appointment System - Instructions  

What you need:
  • Your Internet browser must support 128-bit encryption.
  • The barcode number from your printed DS-160 electronic visa application form, if applicable.
  • A printer to print your appointment confirmation.
  • You must enter a local telephone number where you can be reached, as well as your receipt number for the $140 application fee paid to BCR. (Only certain government and international officials and US government-sponsored applicants are exempt from paying the fee. Please confirm in advance as no refunds will be given.)
How to use the NIV Appointment System:
  1. Complete and print a DS-160 electronic visa application form.
  2. Click on the "Schedule Appointment" button below to select an available date and time for an appointment.
  3. Enter the 10-digit barcode number from the last page of your printed electronic visa application form into the Barcode Number field, and then click "Submit".
  4. Select an available appointment date from the calendar.
  5. Select a preferred time for your appointment, and then enter your Surname, Given Name, Telephone Number, Email Address, and Identification Code.
  6. Verify that all the information entered is correct, and then click "Submit".
  7. Print the appointment confirmation page and bring it with you to your appointment.
  8. The barcode that you enter at the time that you make this appointment must be the valid barcode that you received upon completion of the online DS-160 application form. If you enter a fictitious barcode, your appointment will be cancelled without notice. Each appointment requires the payment of the MRV fee and the completion of a unique DS-160 application form. Duplicate or multiple appointments for a single individual will not be honored.
Note: If you need to cancel or change an appointment at any time, return to this web site and click on the "Change/Cancel Appointment" button.
