Renewing US Visa in Dubai
If your American visa is nearing its expiration date or has already expired, you may be eligible to renew it.
The USA immigration law allows for the renewal of visas through a simplified process (without requiring an interview). To take advantage of this opportunity, the following conditions must be met:
applications for the USA visa renewal can be submitted in two cases: either while the current visa is still valid or within 48 months after its expiration;
the applicant must have undergone full fingerprinting when obtaining the previous visa (it means, that fingerprints of all 10 fingers were collected). This requirement does not apply to children under 14 years old and applicants over 80 years old;
the category of the previously issued and requested visas must be the same. For instance, if the previous visa was a tourist one, the applicant cannot request a student or work visa as a renewal. Visa renewal applies to categories such as B1/ B2, F, J, H, and others;
the visa must not have a stamp indicating the applicant’s documents were referred for administrative processing. Specifically, ensure there is no Clearance Received stamp, which signifies that the applicant is under the US State Department scrutiny. Such applicants are required to undergo additional checks, can only receive visas for a maximum of 12 months, and are ineligible for renewal or reissuance without an interview, even if all other conditions are met.
List of Documents Required for Renewal of American Visa
To renew the American visa in Dubai, you will need to provide the following documents:
passport valid for at least six months from the date of application (if the visa was issued in a previous passport, that passport must also be submitted)
color photograph measuring 5×5 cm, with a white background (taken no more than six months ago)
confirmation page for the completed DS-160 form
receipt for the payment of the consular fee
cover letter explaining the reasons for the visa renewal (if required)
additional documents such as a letter from an employer or bank statements.

List of Documents Required for Renewal of American Visa
Completing the DS-160 Form The DS-160 form is the essential document for all American visa applications. It is crucial to answer all questions accurately while completing it. After submission, you will receive a confirmation page that will be required for subsequent steps.
Creating a Profile on the CGI Federal Website Once the DS-160 form is completed, you must register on the CGI Federal platform and select the nearest document submission center in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Paying the Consular Fee You will need to pay the consular fee, which varies depending on the visa type. Attach the payment receipt to the rest of your application documents.
Document Collection and Submission After assembling the complete set of required documents, you can submit your application for visa renewal. If you qualify for the Interview Waiver Program, you can significantly reduce processing time for your application and visa renewal.
Awaiting a Decision The processing time for American visa renewals is typically 5–6 weeks from the date of submission. However, in some cases, applicants may be called for an in-person interview at the consulate.
