US Visa Appointment Preparation Guide
A readiness checklist before booking your US visa appointment in India — DS-160, passport validity, MRV fee, and scheduling account, so you're ready to book instantly.
Before booking a US visa appointment in India, applicants should have four things ready: a completed DS-160 with its confirmation barcode, a passport valid for the required period, a paid MRV fee, and an active scheduling-platform profile. Being fully ready means an appointment can be secured and used the moment a slot opens. AppointVisa is a US visa appointment assistance service for applicants in India, handled by a dedicated booking team. Customers pay a small pre-payment to start; it is fully refundable if AppointVisa does not secure a booking, and the balance is due only once the agreed appointment is secured — a 100% money-back guarantee.
- Have your DS-160 confirmation barcode ready.
- Check passport validity well beyond your travel dates.
- Pay the MRV fee and confirm it's recognised.
- Keep your scheduling profile active so booking is instant.
1. DS-160 confirmation
Complete the DS-160 accurately and save the confirmation page with the barcode — you can't schedule without it.
2. Passport
Ensure your passport is valid for the required period beyond your intended stay, and that details match your DS-160 exactly.
3. MRV fee
Pay the visa application fee via an accepted method and confirm it's recognised before you expect calendar access.
4. Scheduling account
Keep your profile on the official platform active and accessible. AppointVisa never asks for your login in the public form — when our team connects with you, you share your scheduling-account access through a secure channel, and only then.
