The U.S. Embassy Manila introduces VisaPoint ™ , a web-based information and appointment system available to applicants for U.S. nonimmigrant visas. The VisaPoint ™ system, an alternative to scheduling appointments via telephone, allows applicants to schedule visa interviews on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is available in both English and Tagalog. Scheduling an appointment using this service allows applicants greater flexibility and can reduce costs compared to scheduling appointments via telephone.
Access to VisaPoint ™ is through a personal identification number (PIN), which can be purchased for US$10 by credit card, either Visa or MasterCard using the system’s secure server. Each appointment requires a new PIN. After logging in to VisaPoint ™ , applicants can view information on nonimmigrant visas, determine which visa type is appropriate for them, and then schedule an appointment, choosing from available appointment dates and times.
Individuals may book one appointment that includes up to four accompanying family members as long as they reside in the same household as the main applicant, they will travel with the main applicant on the same type of visa, and they will attend the same visa interview appointment. Applicants may also re-schedule appointments using VisaPoint ™ if necessary.
VisaPoint ™ also provides information on immigrant visas for applicants who are pursuing legal resident status in the United States. However, VisaPoint ™ cannot be used to schedule immigrant visa appointments.
