Application assistance
We work through the information the application asks for with you, so it is prepared accurately from the beginning rather than corrected later.
Your journey to America starts here
Applying for a U.S. visa? Get help at every step.
Travelling to the United States can be exciting. Applying for the visa to get there can be confusing. With increased screening, changing procedures and more emphasis on accurate applications and in-person interviews, preparing properly matters more than it used to.

A U.S. visa application deserves serious preparation
Applying for a visitor visa is not simply filling in a form. The information you provide is considered alongside your interview and your individual circumstances when a consular officer decides whether you qualify.
Applicants may be asked to show the purpose of their visit, their financial ability to cover the trip, and their intention to return home afterwards. Mistakes, missing information and inconsistencies cause problems that were avoidable.
That is what preparation is for. We do not invent a better story. We help you set out your real circumstances accurately, clearly and completely.
You can apply yourself. So why use us?
The U.S. government lets applicants complete their own applications, and plenty do. But when a holiday, a family visit or a business trip depends on the outcome, many people would rather not work it out alone.
Application review
Before anything is finalised, your answers are read for mistakes, omissions and inconsistencies. Small details are what cause avoidable problems.
Document guidance
Unsure which documents matter for your situation? We help you understand what supporting information may be appropriate for your circumstances.
Interview preparation
For many applicants the interview is the most stressful part. We help you understand what to expect and how to discuss your circumstances clearly and truthfully.
Personal support
Instead of searching the internet every time a question comes up, you have someone to ask who has seen your application.
Stop and start whenever
Short sections that save as you finish them. Come back later with your reference number and pick up where you left off.
How it works
Five stages. You keep control of your own application the whole way through, and nothing is filed without your confirmation.
-
Tell us about yourself and your trip
You work through the questions in short sections, in plain language. Your answers save as you finish each one, and a reference number lets you come back at any time.
-
We help prepare your application
We guide you through the information the DS-160 requires and help you set it out accurately, rather than leaving you to interpret official wording alone.
-
We review what you entered
Our team reads it properly and comes back to you about anything incomplete, inconsistent or likely to raise a question, with a plain explanation of why.
-
You prepare for your interview
If an interview is required, we send the document list for your situation and help you understand what to expect on the day.
-
You attend your appointment
You answer the consular officer's questions truthfully. The decision on whether to issue a visa is made solely by the U.S. government. Our job is to help you arrive prepared.
U.S. visa procedures have changed
Policies and procedures continue to evolve. Most nonimmigrant visa applicants are now generally required to attend an in-person interview, subject to limited exceptions, and applicants are generally directed to apply in their country of nationality or residence.
You cannot control the government's decision. You can control how well prepared you are.

Questions people ask before they pay
Including the ones with answers you might not want to hear.
Do I need a visa to visit the United States?
It depends on your nationality and circumstances. Many foreign nationals need a B-2 or B1/B2 visitor visa. Eligible travellers from Visa Waiver Program countries may instead be able to travel with an approved ESTA, which costs far less and needs no interview. If that applies to you, we will say so rather than take a fee you did not need to pay.
Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?
No, and nobody outside the U.S. government legitimately can. Visa decisions are made by consular officers. What we can do is help you prepare your application properly and prepare you for the process.
Can I apply without Visa Journey USA?
Yes. You have the right to apply directly through the U.S. government without using a private assistance service, and to pay only the government fee. We are for people who would rather have help preparing and navigating it.
Why should I pay someone to help me?
For the same reason people use professionals for other important processes. You may be perfectly capable of doing it yourself, but prefer assistance when accuracy matters and your travel plans depend on the outcome.
Is a visa interview required?
Most nonimmigrant visa applicants are generally required to attend an in-person interview, with limited exceptions. Applicants are also generally directed to apply in their country of nationality or residence.
Does having family in America hurt my application?
Every case is considered individually. Applicants establish their eligibility on their own circumstances and show that the intended visit is temporary. Having relatives in the United States does not automatically prevent someone from qualifying for a visitor visa.
Should I buy my airline ticket before my visa is approved?
You should not make final travel plans or buy tickets on the assumption that a visa will be issued.
Does a visa guarantee I can enter the United States?
No. A visa allows you to travel to a U.S. port of entry and request admission. The decision on admission is made by U.S. authorities at the border.
What happens to my passport details?
They are used to prepare your application and nothing else. Nothing is stored in your browser, so a shared or stolen device does not expose them. You can ask us to delete your information at any point.
America is waiting. Let us help you get ready.
