Preparing for your Interview

Important Notice Regarding Document Submission

Immigrant visa applicants must submit the required documents in advance of their interview dates.  Failing to provide a complete document package in advance will delay visa processing.  If you do not provide a complete document package in advance of your interview, your interview may be cancelled, and you may be asked to schedule a different interview date online.

Jordanian citizens, residents of Jordan, and applicants already in Jordan:  One to two weeks before your interview, you must send your complete document package to the U.S. Embassy via Aramex.  We are not accepting in-person document drop off at this time.

Non-Jordanian citizens who do not reside in Jordan and applicants traveling to Jordan for interview:  You should arrive in Jordan five days before your interview and conduct your medical exam.  Three business days before your interview, you must drop off your complete document package at the U.S. Embassy between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

Some visa applicants traveling from Syria have encountered difficulties arriving in Amman for their immigrant visa interviews. The U.S. Embassy in Amman is liaising with the Jordanian authorities and Royal Jordanian to facilitate the entry of immigrant visa applicants arriving from Beirut by air.   While we cannot guarantee their entry into Jordan, we can inform the Jordanian authorities that Syrian immigrant visa applicants will be entering Jordan via Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) on a specific date for an immigrant visa interview.  At this time we cannot assist visa applicants attempting to enter Jordan by land through border crossings.

Syrian IV applicants with scheduled interviews at Embassy Amman should email their flight itinerary to the National Visa Center at sfvp@state.gov as instructed by the NVC. Currently, the only Royal Jordanian flights from Beirut are RJ 402, RJ 404, RJ 406 and RJ 408.  We cannot guarantee coordination on other airlines or codeshares.  Many visa applicants have encountered difficulties making it to their interviews when they have not coordinated with us in advance, or attempted to fly with other airlines, use other airports, or cross by land.  We cannot facilitate entry to Jordan for reasons other than a scheduled immigrant visa interview.

If Lebanese or Jordanian authorities have denied your entry into Lebanon or Jordan, or if Royal Jordanian has refused to allow you to board the aircraft, or if you have been informed that you are not on the appointment list, or you have any other issue, please do not call the U.S. Embassy because there is no action that we can take at that moment.  Instead, when you are able, please send us an email at support-Jordan@ustraveldocs.com that explains your situation so that we can address your concerns.  Do not worry, you will not lose your place in line for an appointment!

You may also request that your case be transferred to another Embassy or Consulate; you must make this request directly to the Embassy or Consulate to which you wish to transfer your case.

Important reminders for Syrian applicants:

  • Medical exams must be conducted in Jordan.
  • The Individual Civil Record and police record must have been issued within the last six months.
  • Family records must establish the relationship to the family member petitioning for your immigration, as well as to your other family members applying for immigration.
