The DS-20 19 form is used to obtain a visa.
The data required in the DS-20 19 form include:
(1) Application Form DS 20 19.
(2) Your medical insurance statement. (you can buy it after going abroad)
(3) proof of your funds (project proof of the overseas study fund committee or specific unit)
(4) Copy of passport
(5) Authorization fee of $250. (Maybe every school is different, and this rule is different. Some schools may not. This fee is used to pay the administrative expenses of the application school to accept the application)
After you receive the DS20 19 form (you should sign your name at the bottom of the form), you can prepare to apply for a face-to-face visa.
Including:
1, pay the visa fee at China CITIC Bank first. Pay with your passport and the receipt should be posted on the last page of the 156 form.
2. Buy a stored-value card to make an appointment for a visa interview. You can buy a card when you pay the visa fee. There are two fixed denominations, 54 yuan 12 minutes, 32 yuan 8 minutes and only CITIC Bank sells them. Then press the card prompt to make an appointment for the interview. You should also have a passport at this time, and the other party should ask you some relevant information, such as your passport number. This is a Chinese service. You can search someone's visa booking process online.
(3) pay SEVIS fees. This is the requirement of the United States for non-immigrant immigrants. Now it's $ 180. After paying online, you can print the receipt online and give it to them after getting the visa.
(4) prepare visa materials. Download the form from the website and fill in the forms 156, 157, 158. 156 forms need to be filled in and printed online immediately.
Finally, the visa materials are prepared.
156, 157, 158 form, passport, visa fee, SEVIS fee receipt, a 5*5CM white photo of the last 6 months, your capital certificate and invitation letter.
Attention, we still need to make some necessary preparations. Some auxiliary materials, such as a family photo, are best put in your wallet (the consul asked to show it to him, indicating that you attach great importance to your family), car driving license, real estate license and other financial certificates. Visiting scholars should pay special attention. You must prepare your identity certificate and a copy of your monograph or paper. American visa officers pay more attention to this kind of information, and they are well prepared. Prepare your tutor materials for visiting schools.
Finally, good luck!
