How to Apply

The U.S. visa application process is the same whether you are applying for the first time or renewing your visa. It is important to know that your visa may still be valid if the passport it is in expires. You can travel to the United States with your old passport containing a valid visa and your new, valid passport.

Applicants meeting the following criteria may be eligible for renewal by mail:

• The applicant is renewing a full validity visa
• Applicant has not been refused a visa after the expiration of a previously issued visa
• The previous visa was issued on or after June 27, 2007
• The previous visa is still valid, or expired within the past 12 months
• The applicant is applying in the same visa category and at the same issuing Embassy/Consulate
• The applicant is applying in his/her country of residence and is currently physically located in his/her country of residence.
• The previous visa is still in the applicant’s possession
• The applicant is returning to the same institution or workplace as was indicated in the previous visa application (except B visas)
• The applicant has never been arrested or convicted of a crime, deported from the United States, or denied entry to the United States 
• All sections of the DS-160 online application have been answered completely and accurately

Complete the  Non-immigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160) form .

Log-in  to our online applicant system and create a profile to pay the visa application (MRV)  fee . Once logged in, choose “Schedule appointment”. As you go through the process you will answer the interview waiver questions which will evaluate your eligibility to apply for a visa without an interview.

After you answer the questions, you will be prompted to pay the visa fee. If you are eligible to apply for a visa without an interview, you will print out the “Interview waiver Letter” which you will include with your visa application to be mailed.

Gather your DS-160 confirmation page, MRV fee receipt, current and previous passports, photo, and a letter explaining your travel purpose and itinerary. Depending on the visa category, you may require additional documentation and a reciprocity fee. Please refer to your  specific visa category page  for additional required documents.

At the end of the visa adjudication process, the U.S. Embassy will return your documents and your passport to you at the chosen document delivery address in your profile. When the documents are dispatched you will receive an email with the tracking number. You can change the delivery address by accessing your profile. If issued, your passport will contain your visa.

Important Note:  The use of the mail-in service does not guarantee visa issuance.  In some cases, applicants may still be required to appear for a visa interview.  Examples of this include incomplete and/or inaccurate applications.

The Best New Hotels in the World: 2024 Hot List

Posted: April 24, 2024 | Last updated: April 24, 2024

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List , our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants , and cruise ships , a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024.

Click here to see the entire Hot List for 2024 .
