Non-Immigrant Visas
New Visa System
All potential non-immigrant visa applicants must first contact the Embassy's Visa Information Service before coming to the Embassy in Nassau. The service, based on similar models operating today in more than 25 countries across Europe, Latin America and Asia, provides timely and accurate information to the public regarding how to apply for a visa to visit the United States.
Callers to the Visa Information Service will be able to speak to operators who can provide information on the visa application process and its requirements. Callers will also be able to schedule an appointment for their visa interview, working with the operator to find the most convenient time for an appointment.
Callers to the Visa Information Service will need to obtain a Personal Identification Number (PIN) before placing their calls. Applicants can purchase a PIN at a local distribution center, where they will also receive instructions on how to place a call to the Visa Information Service. A list of PIN distribution centers is available athttp://www.usvisascratchcards.info/.
