Visa Application

How to Apply for a Nonimmigrant Visa to USA

Step 1: Pay the non-refundable application fee of HK $1,040 per application at Dah Sing Bank in Hong Kong. Please check with your local Dah Sing Bank branch to ensure that it accepts payment of the application fee. For branch locations, please refer to Appendix I.

Step 2: Complete the electronic visa application form online. Applications will not be accepted unless completed on the electronic form. (All male nonimmigrant visa applicants between the ages of 16 and 45 must also fill out and submit a DS-157.)

Step 3: Attach a recent photo (taken within the past six months) to the application. Photo specifications are very exact. Please refer to Appendix II for instructions.

Step 4: Gather the required documents: (1) the completed application form, (2) the bank receipt, (3) a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay in the United States, (4) all previous U.S. visas, even if expired and (5) your appointment confirmation sheet (see below.)

Step 5: Make an appointment on-line. (Please schedule only one appointment per person. If you schedule numerous appointments, they will not be accepted.)

Step 6: Go to the Consulate General (Address) at your specified appointment time. At the interview, the primary applicant will be the only person allowed into the building, except in the case of minor children (age 17 and under). Parents or guardians are advised to accompany a minor child. Children under age 14 who are resident in Hong Kong or Macau and have not been refused a visa do not need to appear in person. However, if the child is not present, only the parent or legal guardian can apply on the child’s behalf. Please bring proof of relationship or legal guardianship such as an original birth certificate or court document.

Step 7: Most applicants will be told immediately following the interview whether or not they will be granted a visa. Successful applicants must then go to the Hongkong Post Services window in the Non-Immigrant Visa section waiting room to arrange for delivery and to pay the postage fee. Hong Kong Post will deliver the passport and visa approximately 3-4 working days after the interview. Please note that there is no same day delivery of visas except in rare cases of humanitarian or medical emergency. The courier service fee is HK $25 for Hong Kong residents and HK $65 for residents of Macau. The fee will be assessed per applicant and must be paid in cash.
