## How to apply

1. **Fill in the DS-160 application**. The DS-160 is the online application for a U.S. visitor visa. It is on ceac.state.gov, the Department of State's site. There you fill it in and submit it online, answering in English. This comes before you book the appointment. It takes about 90 minutes. Write down the application ID, because without it you cannot return to your application. Save often. After 20 minutes without activity the session expires, and a partly completed application is kept for 30 days. Bring the confirmation page to the interview. https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/ [4][5][6][7]
2. **Pay the U.S. visa fee ($185)**. The visa application fee. It is paid from your profile in the online appointment system. By card online, in euros or in dollars, or in cash at VFS in Pristina, Lidhja e Prizrenit St., No. 20, Tophane, with the deposit slip printed from your profile and an ID. This comes before the appointment, because you can book the interview only once it is paid. Then the payment is activated within one business day and can be used to book an appointment for one year. The fee is not returned if the visa is refused. Keep the receipt number, because it cannot be replaced if lost and you need it for the appointment. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/payment-options [2][8][9]
3. **Schedule the U.S. visa appointment**. The interview appointment. It takes place at the U.S. Embassy in Pristina. You book it online, on the official appointment website, with your payment receipt number. This comes once the fee is paid. According to the published wait, the first available appointment is in 15 days. For an urgent, unforeseen trip you can request an expedited appointment. Also, no company or person can get you an appointment faster than the embassy’s appointment system. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/step-4 [10][8][9][11][12][13]
4. **Prepare the documents for the interview**. Your printed appointment confirmation, your DS-160 confirmation page, one photograph taken within the last six months, and your passport. You present these at the interview. You bring them in one plastic bag or folder. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your stay. Also, evidence of your employment or family ties can show the purpose of your trip and that you will return. [12][14][15]
5. **Attend the interview at the U.S. Embassy in Pristina**. A consular officer interviews you and decides whether you qualify for a visitor visa. There, fingerprints are taken digitally, without ink. You hand your phone to security. This comes on the day and at the time of the appointment you booked. You get the decision at the end of the interview. If your case goes into administrative processing, you are given a written letter, and most cases are resolved within 60 days. Bags larger than an A4 page are not allowed. On U.S. and local holidays, the Embassy is closed. [15][14][13][17]
6. **The consular officer decides on your visa**. If the visa is approved, you may pay a visa issuance fee, if one applies to your nationality. You are told how your passport with the visa will be returned to you. [19]
7. **Pay DHL for passport delivery (€10)**. DHL delivers your passport to your address. Its office is 350 m from the Embassy. There you give your details, in cash or by card. This comes as soon as you finish the interview. The DHL page gives its hours as Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 09:00 to 13:00, while the appointment page gives Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00. Then delivery takes about 3 days. [3][20][31]
8. **Get your passport with the U.S. visa (B1/B2)**. For a Kosovo passport, the B1/B2 visa is issued for 5 years, with multiple entries. It comes to your address. By DHL. As soon as the passport is ready, you get an email or a text message. The visa does not guarantee entry. Each time you enter, the officer at the U.S. border decides whether you enter and how long you may stay. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/collection-locations [21][3][22][23][24]
9. **Travel to the United States**. Do not buy airline tickets until you have received your visa. If you are allowed to enter, the CBP official gives you an admission stamp or a paper Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record. [19]

### How do I get my passport back in Kosovo, and what does it cost?

(Passport/Visa collection locations and timings, Kosovo: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/xk/en/collection-locations, 2026-10-12)

### My passport expired, but the U.S. visa in it is still valid. Do I need a new visa?

No. Travel with both passports, as long as the visa is valid, undamaged, and the right type for your trip. Both passports should be from the same country. Do not move the visa into the new passport: it would no longer be valid.

### I changed my name. Is my U.S. visa in my old name still valid?

First you need a new passport. When your name legally changes through marriage, divorce, or a court order, you get a new passport, and the State Department then recommends applying for a new visa, to make travel easier. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### My passport with my U.S. visa was lost or stolen. What do I do?

Report it to the police, then email the U.S. embassy or consulate that issued the visa. Your own country’s embassy replaces the passport. A U.S. visa cannot be replaced inside the United States: you apply in person at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad, with a written account of the loss and the police report. If you are in the United States, you may stay until the date on your I-94. (Lost and Stolen Passports, Visas, and Arrival/Departure Records (Form I-94): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/lost-stolen-visas.html, 2026-10-11)

### There is a mistake on my U.S. visa. What do I do?

Contact the nonimmigrant visa section of the embassy or consulate that issued it. Check the visa as soon as you receive it: everything on it should match your passport.

### Does a U.S. visa guarantee entry into the United States?

No. A visa lets you travel to a U.S. port of entry and ask to be admitted. A CBP officer there decides whether you enter.

### Can I extend my stay in the United States?

Yes, by applying to USCIS on Form I-539 or I-129, depending on your visa, at least 45 days before the date on your I-94. USCIS extends the stay, not the visa; a visa is applied for at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Some cannot extend, such as those admitted in transit (C), as crew (D), or as a fiancé(e) (K).

### I am in the United States as a visitor. Can I change to student status there?

Yes, you can apply to USCIS before your authorized stay expires. Do not start school until USCIS approves the change. Some cannot change, such as those admitted in transit (C), as crew (D), or as a fiancé(e) (K).

### I did not turn in my paper I-94 when I left. What do I do?

Visitors no longer fill in a paper I-94: CBP takes arrivals and departures from electronic travel records, and records a departure by air or sea from the carrier’s passenger list. If you were given a paper I-94, it should be handed to the airline, the Canadian border agency (CBSA), or CBP when you leave; if you did not, see CBP’s website.
