Below is a summary of the current steps as of the writing of this blog. Please refer to the US Embassy website for the most up to date instructions. A note of caution is that if you ever plan on migrating to the US or working in the US it is recommended you consult an attorney to assist with your non-immigrant visa so that you don't inadvertently jeopardize your future immigrant visa.

There are many different non-immigrant visas you can apply for through the US embassy in Georgetown, Guyana. The following information is summarized from the page on the embassy's website. Visit http://gy.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visas/ CLICK HERE to read directly from the source. The B2 Tourist Visa and the B1 Business Visa are the most common non-immigrant visas.

There are six main steps outlined in this process and they are as followed:

The first step is to Select the Visa Type. There is a list of non-immigrant visas available on the embassy's website. Visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/all-visa-categories.html for full list. The next step is to complete the online application. The form that you will need to fill out is called the “DS-160 Nonimmigrant Visa Application form.” This form must be completed online. After you complete the form, you then must print out the confirmation page with the barcode to be presented at your visa interview. The third step of the process is to Register for Visa Services and Pay the Visa Processing Fee. To do this, you must visit http://Guyana.usvisa-info.com, create an account, follow the steps provided on that site, and then printed the two deposit slips to be presented at the Scotiabank Guyana. You will make your payment at the bank. Prices for specific visas will be listed, most of the fees will be around $160 U.S. dollars.

The fourth step in this process is to schedule your Interview appointment. Within two business days of paying your application fee, you can schedule your appointment online or through the call center. The online portal to schedule the appointment can be found at http://Guyana.usvisa-info.com and the phone numbers are also listed on the website. The next step in this process is to attend your interview at the U.S. Embassy in Georgetown, Guyana. Be sure to review the page about the interview to make sure you are well prepared and have everything you need. The three major things you will need is your passport, one 2x2 inch photo, and the application confirmation page. The last step in this process is to pick up your visa. You will be able to pick up your application at the Embassy about five business days after the interview.
