How to Apply
First time applicants for individual crew member/transit (C1/D)
visas, excluding Korea-based aircrew, must schedule an appointment
for an interview through Visa Information Web Services at www.us-visaservices.com. C1/D applicants are required to be finger scanned at the time of their interview. If your left
or right index finger is injured (i.e. cut, stitched, bandaged, etc.), we highly
recommend that you schedule your interview for a day after your finger has
healed. If we are unable to digitally scan your index fingerprint, we will not
be able to process your application and you may be required to return to the
Embassy.
Please be on time for your appointment. Your appointment time is when
we expect you to check in at the first floor of the U.S. Embassy Seoul,
Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV) Branch, to begin your NIV application processing.
You will be interviewed after check-in. Late applicants will not be processed.
Applicants are responsible for knowing their appointment time and arriving
on-time to their NIV appointment.
Please understand that we try to process visa applications as quickly
as possible. Please help us by ensuring that all your documents are complete
and correct. We recommend that you apply early for your visa, as we can
never guarantee visa processing in time to suit your travel plans. Please
understand that U.S. law requires us to process each application separately
on its own merits. We can never give assurance of visa issuance.
Please bring the following with you to your interview:
 A signed
passport (seamen's or regular) valid for at least six months.
A completed
and signed Nonimmigrant Visa Application (DS-156/DS-157) with
photo (See "new photo requirements"
for the DS-156). This form is available at the Embassy at no charge,
or can be downloaded from this web site.
A receipt
from the HanMi (KorAm) Bank for the visa application fee for each applicant.
The fee may be paid at any of the bank's branches in Korea. There is
a branch only a short walk from the Embassy; here is a map.
Any old
passports showing travel history or contain a previously issued U.S.
visa.
Contract/appointment
letter from your employer.
A courier
receipt from an Embassy-approved courier company
(DHL:1588-0002; Hanjin: 1588-0011).
You can now track the delivery of your passport on-line!
