United States visa

Read this before you plan anything: as of 1 September 2026 the US Mission in the UAE states that routine visa processing is not available in the United Arab Emirates, and that applicants for nonimmigrant visas should schedule their interview in their country of residence or nationality. A separate 2026 proclamation also suspends or limits issuance for nationals of a list of countries — applications can still be lodged and interviews attended, but a visa may not follow. This is the one destination on this site where the position can change between you reading it and applying, so treat the above as of its date and ask us to confirm what is current before you commit to travel dates.

Most United States applications from the UAE need: Passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages; UAE residence visa copy (valid at least 3 months); Emirates ID copy (front and back); Recent passport-size photo to the required specification; Bank statements for the last 3-6 months; Employment contract or NOC letter from your employer; Confirmed flight and hotel reservations; Travel medical insurance for the trip duration. Requirements vary: United States may ask for additional documents depending on your nationality and purpose of travel, so we confirm the exact list for your case before you start.

Our price for a United States visa starts from AED 2,235, for the simplest visa type. Embassy and visa centre fees are included. The exact figure depends on the visa type, your nationality and the processing speed you choose, so we confirm it once we know your residency and travel dates, before anything is submitted.
