Security Advice
Please arrive on time, but not earlier than 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment time. Present the appointment confirmation and documentation to the Consular Section upon arrival. If the applicant needs a Canadian visa to enter Canada to apply for a visa, it is the applicant's responsibility to obtain one. The following items are not permitted in the Consular Section: cameras, tape recorders, pagers, cell phones, video cameras, radios, calculators, food and drink, computers, electronic car keys or actual and potential weapons including sharp or pointed items. Guards are required to search all bags, purses, backpacks and similar belongings prior to entry into the Consular Section. Any visitor who declines to be screened by Consular Section security personnel will be prohibited from entering the Consular Section. Appearing for an interview does not guarantee a visa will be issued. In most cases, if the visa is issued, it will be available for pick-up at the DHL location of the applicant's choice within the following three business days. However, in some cases, visa applications may require special processing that can take several weeks or months for approval. Because processing times vary, the applicant should request a visa interview well in advance of the planned departure for the United States and should not make non-refundable travel arrangements until the visa has been received. Applicants should bear in mind that they may stand outside the facilities for some time, please dress according to weather conditions on the day of your appointment. Reciprocity Fee Depending on the applicant's country of citizenship and the type of visa being applied for, the applicant may also be required to pay a fee for visa issuance, known as a reciprocity fee. The applicant may obtain this information by visiting the following Web site: http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees /fees_3272.html Personal Appearance In general, all applicants must appear in person for the visa interview at which time, in addition to an interview, the consular officer will digitally capture the fingerprints of applicants ages between 14 and 79. Under very limited circumstances the personal appearance requirement may be waived (medical emergencies), but the applicant must still be physically present in the district where the application is
