Non-immigrant Visas
The Consulate primarily processes non-immigrant visas for applicants who normally reside in Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, but also accepts applications from elsewhere in China, with no restrictions based on household registration (户口).
How to Apply for a Visa
U.S. visa application services will be provided to visa applicants by our authorized partner, www.ustraveldocs.com.
For more information about the visa application process, paying the visa application fee online, and scheduling an appointment, please visit the visa application website. If you have received a U.S. visa in the last five years, you may be eligible to renew your visa without an interview through our newly expanded CITIC drop-box service. Applicants under 14 and over 80 years of age are also eligible for this service.
Warning
www.ustraveldocs.com is the only company that the U.S. Consulate General authorizes to provide visa information and visa application services. The U.S. Consulate General does not endorse or have a “special relationship” with any other individual or business that offers advice or assistance with the visa process. No one can guarantee the issuance of a visa to you. All U.S. government forms are free.
Beware — many visa applicants lose money or are permanently barred from the United States as a result of misleading information and fraudulent applications provided by visa consultants.

All visitors and visa applicants must bring their ID when they enter the U.S. Consulate. Applicants younger than 18 years of age should bring their household registration (户口) document. Consulate security staff will not permit applicants to enter the Consulate without a valid ID.
One parent may accompany his or her child under 14 years of age for the child’s visa interview but must present their household registration (户口) document.
