Step 2: Scheduling a Visa Interview
 

The U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem has jurisdiction over all nonimmigrant visa applicants who reside in the city of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza.  As of December 12, 2011, the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem, in an effort to make the U.S. visa application process faster, easier, and more convenient for our clients, will implement new application and appointment procedures.  Applicants will no longer need to pay one fee to obtain information and schedule an appointment, another fee to apply for the visa, and a third fee for courier pass back service.  By paying only the current machine-readable visa (MRV) application fee determined by visa classification, the applicant will receive the following services:

  • MRV fee collection by phone, online, or at any branch of the Israeli Postal Bank or Bank of Palestine.  Applicants can pay using cash or credit card.
  • Scheduling of visa appointments by telephone 02-5677833 or through the online appointment website: http://Jerusalem.usvisa-info.com.  There is no need to purchase a PIN number or pay any fee for this service.
  • Information on general visa inquiries either by phone or online.
  • Courier services for applicants who need to submit additional documents to the Consulate after their interviews.
  • Choice of passport delivery options for approved visa applicants, including home delivery, at no additional cost to the visa applicant.
