- The process to obtain a US visa involves a few steps, and there is no specific physical location to “do” the visa. The process is mainly done online and involves scheduling specific locations for data collection and interviews.
Steps to obtain a US visa:
Fill out the DS-160 form: This is the first step and must be done online on the US government website.
Pay the visa fee: The amount varies depending on the type of visa requested.
Schedule an interview: After paying the fee, you can schedule an interview at the Visa Applicant Assistance Center (CASV) and the American consulate.
Attend CASV: At this location, your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) will be collected.
Attend the interview at the consulate: The interview is an important stage of the process and is usually carried out at one of the American consulates in Brazil (located in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Porto Alegre and Brasília).
Important informations:
Scheduling: It is highly recommended to schedule your interview in advance as availability may be limited.
Documentation: Have all the documents necessary for the interview on hand, such as a valid passport, proof of payment of the fee, form DS-160 and other documents that prove your ties with Brazil.
Official website: For official and up-to-date information on the visa application process, see the US Embassy and Consulates in Brazil website:
