The American Immigration Lawyers Association has sent a press alert about the new appointment system for non-immigrant visas for residents of Iran.
Iranians need to make an appointment and may do so on their own, without the use of a travel agent. Appointment dates are made every other Wednesday at the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai (http://dubai.consulate.gov/). Appointments are limited - planning ahead and accordingly is encouraged greatly.
To schedule an appointment for residents of Iran:
1) Call the VIS at +1-703-439-2322. Farsi and English speaking agents are available.
2) Provide your international credit card information as there will be a USD $20 appointment fee. Appointments for up to 5 immediate family members can be made at one time with one appointment fee.
3) A date change for an interview can be made, however, individuals cannot change the name or passport number of the appointment.
Interviews for Iranians seeking non-immigrant visas are conducted at the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai only. Iranian immigrant visas are subsequently processed at the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
Iranians looking to make appointments based on emergencies and urgent medical treatment should send an email to DubaiVisaMedical @state.gov and individuals will be required to submit documentation showing the urgency of the situation in the email.
