All nonimmigrant visa applicants must use the online application form (DS-160), which can be filled out by clicking here. The DS-160 is available in Cyrillic. You may select “русский” in the “Select Tooltip Language” box at the top right corner of the page. When you point the cursor to English text, a box with a Russian translation will appear.

Following completion and transmission of the DS-160, applicants will receive instructions to print a confirmation page that includes some biographical information and a bar code with a confirmation number.

Applicants must bring this confirmation page with them to their visa interview and to Pony Express for scheduling the interview appointment.

To complete your online visa application, you need a digital photo. Please read carefully the requirements to upload your photo and the photo specifications. Also you need to bring a printed photo along with your passport to Pony Express.

If the online application has not been completed fully and accurately, the applicant will be requested to return for a second interview with a newly completed application.

As you complete the visa application, save a copy on your hard drive and click ‘save’ often. Fill out all required information completely and correctly, including selecting the appropriate visa type. Significant errors or information marked as “N/A”, “Nil”, etc. may result in your application being rejected at the time of your interview. This would require you to complete the entire application again and to reschedule a visa interview. Frequently asked questions for the Online DS-160 Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application
