When your appointment and payment are confirmed, you may present the signed Financial Letter of Agreement to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a U.S. visa. Only a U.S. embassy or consulate can grant visas. You can apply for a U.S. visa by entering the website of the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate online.
We strongly recommend that you obtain a B1 (business) or B2 (pleasure) visa, in case you need to extend your stay. The initial trip to Keck Medicine of USC may only require a short stay, but it is important to have the flexibility to stay longer once a treatment plan is recommended.
For more information about visas, visit U.S. Department of State Website.
*As of November 29, 2016, all individuals carrying maximum validity (10-year) B1/B2, B1, and B2 visas in passports issued by the People’s Republic of China must have a valid eVUS enrollment in order to travel to the United States. Travelers who are subject to eVUS requirements but do not have valid enrollments will not be able to obtain a boarding pass or enter through a land port of entry.
