Getting a visa done is sometimes a stressful process, luckily for you we are here to help!
The USA visa process is a fairly easy process and waiting for a verdict may take up to one week since the appointment was attended, however waiting times may be longer and shorter in some cases.
Before you attend the appointment, a few things have to be done and a couple of documents have to be gathered first.
The visa process formally starts once you have confirmed the match with your host family. They will get documentation ready on their side and our Visa Experts will give you all the needed documentation.
You will be assisted with the online visa application whilst we wait for your documents. Documents that you have to gather from your side prior to attending the appointment includes where available: Proof of qualification, for example, diplomas and certificates.
Documents not in the English language must be submitted with a certified English translation. A translation of the personal data page of the passport is, however, not required. - Certificates, diplomas, etc. must be presented in the original. Your original documents will be returned to you once your application has been processed.
The total visa costs for The USA are $185 (approx. R3300 at the time of print). Once your application has been handed in electronically, we will assist you to make an appointment at the American embassy. The appointment is attended in US Consulate in Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town. Citizens of Namibia will go to the US Embassy in Windhoek, Namibia.
Once the appointment has been attended there is a 1-week waiting period for visa to be issued. You will be notified once your passport is ready for pick up or your passport will be couriered to you (it depends on which option you chose).
When you have received your passport, we can formally start to book your flights and then you are ready for departure!
