USA Visa Appointment from Australia

Planning a trip to the United States from Australia? If you're applying for a US visitor visa (B1/B2) or any non-immigrant visa, booking a USA visa appointment is a mandatory step. The appointment includes attending a biometric session and a visa interview.

Y-Axis Australia offers complete support in booking your US visa appointment, completing the DS-160 form, preparing required documents, and ensuring you're ready for the interview.

Who Needs a US Visa Appointment in Australia?

You need to book a visa appointment if:

• You’re applying for a B1/B2 visitor visa
• Since 1 October 2025, age is no longer an exemption. Applicants under 14, 14–79, and over 79 may all be required to attend an in-person interview unless they qualify for the current interview waiver.
• You do not qualify for visa renewal without an interview

If your previous visa expired more than 12 months ago or you're applying for the first time, you must attend an in-person interview.

How to Book a US Visa Appointment from Australia

Booking a US visa appointment from Australia is a simple process if you follow the steps carefully:

• Complete the DS-160 Form: Fill out the online DS-160 form and save the confirmation page for your records.
• Create a Profile: Register on the Official USTravelDocs Portal to manage your application.
• Pay the Visa Fee: Pay the required visa application fee using the available payment options and keep the receipt.
• Schedule Appointments: Book your biometric (fingerprints and photo) and visa interview appointments online.
• Attend the Appointments: Visit the visa center and embassy on your scheduled dates with all necessary documents.

Tip: Always double-check your details and carry complete documents to avoid delays.

The appointment must be scheduled – either in Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth.

Documents Required for USA Visa Appointment

The following documents are mandatory for your appointment:

• Valid passport (with at least 6 months validity)
• DS-160 confirmation page
• Visa application fee receipt
• Appointment confirmation letter
• One passport-size photo as per US specifications
• Supporting documents such as itinerary, financial documents, or invitation letters, if applicable

US Visa Application Fee in Australia

The standard US visitor visa (B1/B2) application fee is USD $185, payable in AUD. This fee is non-refundable and must be paid before scheduling your visa appointment. Please note that a USD $250 Visa Integrity Fee, introduced under U.S. legislation in July 2025, is expected to be implemented during FY2026.

As of July 2026, this additional fee has not yet come into effect and is awaiting implementation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of State. If implemented, eligible applicants may need to pay this fee in addition to the standard USD $185 visa application fee. Applicants should check the latest fee requirements before booking their appointment.
