Although visa applicants may apply at any U.S. consular office abroad, it may be more difficult to qualify for the visa outside your country of permanent residence. Prior to scheduling your interview, you can<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas\/visa-information-resources\/wait-times.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check\u202fvisa appointment waiting times<\/a>. Please note that depending on your country of residence and field of study, visa processing times can exceed one month, so apply early.<\/p>\n<h2>Expedited\/Emergency Appointments<\/h2>\n<p>If you are having difficulty scheduling an appointment for a visa interview, check the Consulate\u2019s website to see if you may request an expedited\/emergency appointment. Not all U.S. Consulates are able to accommodate requests for emergency\/expedited appointments. Each Consulate will have their own specific criteria and procedures that you have to follow. In general, an emergency\/expedited appointment may be requested by a student who needs a visa to begin or resume a program of study in the U.S. within 60 days of the request when no regular visa appointments are available. Some \u00a0U.S. Consulates may have a shorter time frame.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pay the visa application fee.<\/li>\n<li>Complete the Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160) form.<\/li>\n<li>Schedule an appointment online for the earliest available date. Please note that you must schedule an appointment before you can request an expedited date.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the instructions for requesting an expedited\/emergency appointment on the Consulate\u2019s website. Specific instructions will vary from Consulate to Consulate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The only documentation you will need from Syracuse University is your I-20 or DS-2019 form indicating a start date of your academic program within 60 (or fewer) days. No additional letters are required.<\/p>\n<h2>Visa Interview<\/h2>\n<p>Student visa applicants must establish, to the satisfaction of the consular officer, that they have binding ties to a residence in a foreign country which they do not intend to abandon and that they will depart the U.S. when they have completed their studies. For certain countries, the U.S. Consulate may take 20-30 days or more to issue a visa. You will need to consider this when scheduling your visa appointment and making your travel plans.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"accordion-item border border-gray-light\">\n      <div class=\"accordion-header-text\">\n        <h3 class=\"margin-bottom-0\">\n          <button class=\"accordion-header full-width background-gray-light-30 border-0 margin-0 padding-top-2 padding-bottom-2 padding-left-3 padding-right-3\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Preparing to Travel to Syracuse            <div class='accordion-toggle icon-right' class=''>\n              <i class='icon-chevron-right'><\/i>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/button>\n        <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class='accordion-content'>\n        <h2>Flying to the Syracuse Hancock International Airport (<span>SYR)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When making flight arrangements, keep in mind that there are few direct flights to Syracuse, New York, from outside the U.S. You might consider making a connection to Syracuse from New York City, Washington D.C., Philadelphia or Boston. There are also bus and train services from New York City; however, it is not very convenient to make the transfers, and it is also a relatively long trip by land (about six hours by train or bus).<\/p>\n<h2>Arriving in Syracuse and Traveling to Campus<\/h2>\n<h3>From the Syracuse Airport<\/h3>\n<p id=\"s:from-the-syracuse-airport\">It is very easy to take a taxi from the airport. There are two taxi stands located at each end of the terminal past the luggage area (the Syracuse airport is small and very manageable). Once you collect your luggage, go to either end to find the taxi stand; it\u2019s inside the building. There you can arrange a taxi to Syracuse University or directly to your housing, depending on your plans. Typical taxi fare is around $30, not including tip. Students may also use Uber or Lyft. There is free Wi-Fi at the airport.<\/p>\n<h3>From the Train or Bus Station<\/h3>\n<p>If you are taking a train or bus from New York City to Syracuse, you will arrive at the Regional Transportation Center. Taxis are usually located outside the front door and are marked.
