visa information

The NIV processing fee is US$100 and can be paid for at any Shinhan Bank branch within Korea. The processing fee is payable only in Korean Won and is based on the daily exchange rate at the bank. All NIV applicants, including children listed in a parent's passport, if applying for a U.S. NIV, must pay the processing fee. The bank will give each applicant a receipt showing payment. This fee receipt must be submitted with each application at the time of submission. Applicants cannot pay the processing fee at the Embassy.

Student Visa

If you are going to the U.S. for academic study, English-language instruction or vocational training, you must apply for an F1 or M1 visa by scheduling an interview. Even if you are renewing your F1 or M1 visa, you must apply by interview. Interview appointments can be scheduled online at www.us-visaservices.com or by calling 003-08-131-420 within Korea (M-F, 10:00 AM-8:00 PM). We do not accept walk-in appointments. After scheduling your interview, please prepare all the required application materials and come to the U.S. Embassy on the day of your scheduled interview with all the documents fully prepared. Please do not send your application and supporting documents to us in advance.
All F1/M1 visa applicants between the age of 14 and 80 are required to be finger scanned at the time of their interview. If your left or right index finger is injured (i.e. cut, stitched, bandaged, etc.), we highly recommend that you reschedule your interview for a day after your finger has healed. If we are unable to digitally scan your index fingerprint, we will not be able to process your application and you may be required to return to the Embassy.
