IV Scheduled Interviews
Updated on: October 15, 2009
Immigrant Visa Interview Schedule
The Immigrant Visa Unit conducts immigrant visa interviews by appointment only. When your petition adjudication appointment or visa interview is scheduled, you will be notified of your appointment date in a letter from the Kentucky Consular Center (for Diversity Visa candidates), or from the National Visa Center (NVC) or the Consular section in Sana’a (for all other Immigrant Visa applicants).
If you have missed your appointment and wish to reschedule, please e-mail us at IVSanaa@state.gov.
Note that the appointment time for all interviews is 7:30 a.m. If the beneficiary does not appear with all required documents and appropriate interview/issuance fees before 8:30 a.m. on that day, his/her appointment will be rescheduled for a later date. It is the applicant's responsibility to contact us, either by e-mail or in writing, to reschedule the appointment.
Important Note for Diversity Visa Applicants: Please be informed that if the principal applicant is found to be ineligible for the DV program, fees for the application will not be refunded. The criteria under which one may be found ineligible are as follows:
1. Insufficient education or work experience
2. Multiple lottery entries in the same program year
3. Failure to list a spouse or child on the initial application to the program
