Required Documentation As part of the visa application process, an interview at the embassy consular section is required for visa applicants from age 14 through 79. Persons age 13 and younger, and age 80 and older, generally do not require an interview, unless requested by embassy or consulate. Making your appointment for an interview is the first step in the visa application process. The waiting time for an interview appointment for applicants can vary, so early visa application is strongly encouraged. Visa wait times for interview appointments and visa processing time information for each U.S. Embassy or Consulate worldwide is available on our website at Visa Wait Times, and on most embassy websites. During the visa application process, usually at the interview, an ink-free, digital fingerprint scan will be quickly taken. Some applicants will need additional screening, and will be notified when they apply. Each applicant for a visitor visa must submit these forms and documentation, and submit fees as explained below:

Apply for your Visa well in advance of your travel! Important steps to remember:1 - Review your visa status, and find out if you need a U.S. visa or a renewal. 2 - Review the visa wait times information for interview appointments and visa processing at each embassy and consular section worldwide available on our website at Visa Wait Times. Visit the embassy or consular section website where you will apply for your visa to find out how to schedule an interview appointment, pay fees and any other instructions. 3 - Plan on an interview at the embassy or consulate, which is required for most visa applicants. As part of the visa interview, a quick fingerprint scan should be expected. Applicants who need additional screening are informed during the application process. See the links on the left for more information about visas required for temporary visitors to the U.S.

you did not mention what visa you're getting. every embassy have more or less the same requirements. first and foremost you have to have all your documents on hand during the interview. like itr, proof of capacity to finance the trip, certification of employment etc. there are times they don't ask for it, but its better that you have it on hand. check with your travel agent other requirements. during the interview just be yourself and don't show any fear. be natural and don't appear to be too eager. good luck!!!!!
