Worldwide Caution: The Department of State advises Americans worldwide to exercise increased caution.
Effective January 21, 2026, the Department of State paused all immigrant visa issuances to nationals of countries, including Jordan and Syria, whose immigrants have a high rate of collecting public assistance at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer. Immigrant visa applicants who are nationals of impacted countries may submit visa applications and attend interviews, and the Department of State will continue to schedule consular appointments for visa interviews. Read more about the immigrant visa processing updates for nationalities at high risk of public benefits reliance.
Applicants for U.S. nonimmigrant visas should schedule their visa interview appointments at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence or nationality. Visa application fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. For more information, visit travel.state.gov.

A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler’s passport.
Certain international travelers may be eligible to travel to the United States without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program, which is administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The Visa section of this website is about U.S. visas for foreign citizens and nationals to travel to the United States.
Visit Travel.State.gov for additional information.
Note: U.S. citizens do not need a U.S. visa for travel to the United States. When planning travel abroad a U.S. citizen may need a visa issued by the embassy or consulate of the country they wish to visit.
For short-term visits to the United States (for tourism, business, education, and more), you can go directly to the online application (form DS-160). For immigrant visas, which are issued to foreign nationals who intend to live and work permanently in the United States, you can visit the U.S. citizenship and Immigration Services site for the relevant forms. If you are unsure what type of visa you need, please use the Visa Wizard below.
The U.S. Embassy in Amman has returned to normal processing of immigrant visa cases. While the Embassy aims to process cases as soon as possible, there will be increased wait times due to a substantial backlog.
If you reside in Jordan and your appointment was cancelled, or if your case is in Amman but has not been scheduled yet, or if you missed your appointment for any reason, please send an email detailing your circumstances support-Jordan@usvisascheduling.com. Please note: if the system indicates that your case is not found, this means that your case is still with NVC (or KCC) and you will not be able to schedule an appointment at this time. If you reside in Syria, please see our special instructions.
If you/one of your children will soon turn 21 or you have a particularly urgent need to travel to the United States for a medical or other emergency, please send an email to support-Jordan@usvisascheduling.com with a detailed explanation of your circumstances so we may assess your case.
If you were issued a visa in any category except DV and were unable to use the visa before it expired, we may be able to reissue your visa upon receipt of updated documents and new fees. Contact us at support-Jordan@usvisascheduling.com with any questions about reissued visas.
For all applicants whose cases are documentarily qualified and are pending an appointment date from the National Visa Center (NVC) and Kentucky Consular Center (KCC), you will receive your appointment date on a first-in, first-out basis. There are backlogs in every visa category. If you have a serious medical emergency, you may contact NVC directly to request an expedited appointment.
If you need reasonable accommodation for your appointment, we encourage you to request your accommodation immediately once you schedule your appointment. We make every effort to provide accommodations to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Reasonable accommodations vary, depending on the situation and the person’s needs.
Examples of accommodations include, but are not limited to:
If you are unable to provide fingerprints because of a medical condition, including birth defects, physical deformities, skin conditions, you may qualify for a fingerprint waiver for certain fingers.
