To Request an Appointment

The form below is to be used to request or change the appointment for an immigrant visa final interview. The applicant for an immigrant visa must meet the following conditions:

• Has and is able to present applicable documents listed in the Immigrant Visa Checklist
• Will not give up a job or business, dispose of property or make non-refundable travel arrangements until visa issuance
• Intends to apply for an immigrant visa on the appointment date

Note: We conduct immigrant visa interviews by appointment only. Appointments are scheduled on Monday or Wednesday at 8:15 a.m. or 8:30 a.m. When Monday is a holiday, we schedule appointments on the Tuesday for that week.

When your appointment request is received, you can expect to receive a response regarding your appointment date within 7 working days. We will send your appointment notice by e-mail. If you do not receive a notice within 7 working days, please resubmit this form using a different web browser and/or listing a different email address. You may also contact our call center by email to support-japan@ustraveldocs.com.

To Change an Appointment

If you need to change your appointment, please return to this page to request a different date. Indicate that you are changing an existing appointment in the "Remarks" box below. We will send a new appointment notice by email.

For Employment and Family-based Preference Immigrants

You DO NOT need to use this form to request an immigrant visa appointment if you are applying for an employment or family-based preference visa based on a petition filed in the United States. If you need to change the appointment date, you may use this form.

The NVC will schedule an appointment on the monthly visa allotment basis. You will be informed of the date and time of your interview.

Please note, however, that there is no reason to expect that a visa allocation will be available for you if your application is not processed to conclusion during the month of the originally scheduled visa interview.

Important: Please provide your case number exactly as shown on the prior notice of appointment.

We conduct interviews on a varied schedule, excluding U.S. and Japanese holidays.

Each applicant, regardless of their age, must have their own DS-260. The DS-260 must be completed and submitted online before requesting your interview.
