Applicants for student visas will not be required to schedule an interview through the online appointment system. Instead, applicants for F-1student visas and J-1 academic/research visas may schedule their visa interview appointments in advance on a walk-in basis with the U.S. Embassy Consular Section
To schedule a student visa interview, applicants must appear in person at the Consular Section any Wednesday from March 3 to April 28 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students must submit copies of their form I-20 and passport biographic data page, as well as a valid email address. Students will receive a ticket with the visa interview date and time. Students should not submit more than one application. Duplicate applications or applications for more than one appointment will result in the cancellation of any previously scheduled appointment.
Applicants for J-1 summer work/travel visas are not eligible to participate in this walk-in program. Summer/work travel applicants must schedule visa interview appointments online at http://ghana.usembassy.gov.
Students renewing their F-1 visas may continue to renew their visas on a walk-in basis any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
