This process could take up to 7 days but normally it will be done within 24 hours. Sometimes it only takes a few hours so log back in & it should be there. 

Once the it is approved it is electronically linked to you passport but it is best to have a hard copy so printing it off is a good idea. You can also take a screenshot on your phone. 

If you or someone you are travelling with has any type of criminal record it is recommend that you apply for the visa before you buy the flights. If the visa is denied it would mean you have to go through a lengthy visa process that could take up to 6 months. It includes a face to face interview at the American Embassy. If you have purchased your flights & you cant get the visa you could possibly lose a lot of money. 

Please be aware that there are a lot of scam visa websites, some will charge you over US$80, you will still get your visa but you are paying far too much. There are also sites that will take your money & you don’t get your visa. Please use the link provided below.
