VisaPoint™ for Individuals Scheduling Appointments
 
     
 

The Visa Point system allows individuals to schedule nonimmigrant visa interview appointments online.

Individuals must purchase a personal identification number (PIN) to enter the Visa Point system, which provides information on nonimmigrant visa types, and allows applicants to select an appointment date and time from those available. Each PIN costs US$10, and may be paid for with a credit card, either Visa or MasterCard. Please note that a PIN expires 90 days after purchase if not used to schedule an appointment.

Each PIN allows for up to two (2) reschedules of the appointment. Any changes or cancellation must be done at least three business days (excluding U.S. and Philippine Holidays and weekends) before the appointment date. If an appointment must be changed after this deadline, a new PIN must be purchased.

Individuals may book an appointment for up to four accompanying family members who reside in the same household as the applicant, and will be able to attend the same appointment.
