How to renew the American visa?

1. There are two ways to renew a contract in the United States:

(1) is the material sent by China CITIC Bank, and there is no interview;

(2) it is to make an appointment for an interview at the embassy.

2. Note: As long as you change schools or i-20, you need to go to the embassy for an interview. Only students with i-20 and first-time visas in the same school can apply for the interview-free service of CITIC Bank.

Materials to be submitted for renewal: The most important materials are valid original i-20 and school transcripts. Other materials: photos, visa form DS156/157/158, visa application fee.

Three. You can use the forwarding service of CITIC Bank:

1. Applicants must obtain a non-immigrant visa in the United States;

2. Applicants must apply for the same type of American visa as last time (for example: b 1/b2, f- 1, etc.). ), and the final visa was applied in Shanghai; (Note: To sign a contract in Shanghai for the first time, you need to apply for interview-free service in Shanghai; If it is the first time to sign a contract in Beijing, you need to apply for interview-free service at Beijing CITIC Bank. As this explanation is posted on the website of Shanghai Consulate, only Shanghai is mentioned)
