SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT FOR A VISA INTERVIEW

All applicants for a Non-Immigrant Visa (including children) must schedule an individual appointment for an interview with a Consular Officer. Starting September 28, 2007, visa applicants must fill out an Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF) before they can schedule their own appointments by going to the website https://evisaforms.state.gov/default.asp?postcode=SRB (or click here) and follow the instructions on the page. Please do not forget to print the confirmation page. It must be brought to the Consulate when applicants come for their interview. The confirmation ID is also required when an applicant needs to change the date or cancel an appointment.
