Step1: Fill in the DS160
Nonimmigrant Visa
Fill in the form according to the actual situation, but be careful, it must be completed within 20 minutes , otherwise you will have to start over. The strategy you can adopt is to take your time and fill it out first and let the computer memorize it. When you officially start filling in, you only need to enter one letter and the rest will be automatically displayed. Some people say that you can choose a visa of less than 24 hours, because when applying for a visa in Canada and the United States, if you go to Buffalo or Seattle, 24 hours makes sense, and you will still be given a multiple-entry visa for one year, so it will not affect it. ~But a visa with less than 24 hours will save you a lot of form filling, such as the address of the American contact~~ It depends on your personal needs!
Finally, you need to print a confirmation. You need to use a laser printer to print it, because the barcode needs to be scanned. After entering the US embassy, ??you will point to that and the passport. Confirmation, you can choose to send it to the email address you filled in, and the form is completed.
step2: Pay money and sign the contract
For a US visa of 160, you can choose two ways in Canada. One is to go to a local bank in Canada, Scotiabank, to pay US dollars, and then it will give you One acknowledgment will be given to you, and the other will be paid directly online, and the seats will be reserved together.

If you are prompted that the payment was successful, you can make an appointment.
Theoretically, you can choose to apply for a U.S. visa on any day! As long as you have time, you can keep browsing the website, and someone will always cancel or reschedule.
Step3: Prepare materials
It varies from person to person
Photos: If there is a qualified electronic version, you can update it directly. If not, 10 yuan It’s okay to spend money to take photos there
Passport: There must be enough pages to issue a US visa for you, and it will not expire for at least 6 months~
Add a US visa: US visa It is processed based on your signature. If your signature is very short, your US visa is destined to be short-lived~
Bank certificate: Provide a certificate about the bank fund~ Just go to the bank to open it! If your sponsor is a parent, you can also bring a parent's bank statement~
Proof of identity: What are you doing here? You need to have a small certificate issued by the organization~~It's actually not troublesome~ If you are a student, you can also issue a transcript~
These four items must be brought: confirmation, which is the confirmation letter in step 1; appointment list (it is said that if you don’t bring it, you need to print it, or in Look for your name on the list); passport; add signature (study permit, work permit)
step4: When the visa is in progress
At the first stop of inspection, a blue bag was given. confirmation and passport, and then we will confirm with you the DHL branch you mailed.
The second stop of inspection is to submit to the blue bag. The window is 1-4. You will be asked a few simple questions, such as your identity, and you will also need to check the photo, and then you will get a number. , this number requires two rounds of inspection
The third station is just to listen to the number being called. When the number is called, go directly to record your fingerprints. First, four fingers on the left hand, four fingers on the right hand, and the thumb together. ~~If it is not clear, re-record it, go back to your seat and wait for the next round of number calling (by the way, in Toronto, there is a Chinese number call~)
The fourth station of inspection: to decide the visa Did you successfully interview? The legendary interview. I can only speak English, unlike in China where I can easily handle things in Chinese. When answering questions, look the visa officer in the eye and show sincerity and no deception.
Regardless of whether it is signed or not, you will be given a piece of paper with different colors. In my impression, it is pink and yellow.
Step 5: Leave
Put away your excitement, then calm down and hold the precious piece of paper. In fact, this piece of paper is a suggestion, about how to get a passport from DHL~~~ When you go out, don't forget to pick up the things you left at the US Consulate, which may be your car keys or your mobile phone.
Then just wait for the visa, you can pick it up yourself or mail it!
