Group Access Code

The Embassy/Consulate will process some applications as a group for greater convenience and efficiency. One example of a common group would be entertainers traveling to the United States to perform together.

Procedure to obtain a Group Appointment

If you think that your group may qualify for this special processing:

Follow steps 1 and 2 for scheduling a regular appointment [link to your site] –

Important Note: It will take 4 hours for your MRV fee to be processed. Then you may proceed to step 3.

Step 3: If you believe that you qualify as a Group as explained above, you should fill out the Group Access Code Request Form and wait for a response from the Embassy/Consulate.

Step 4: If the Embassy/Consulate approves your request, you will be sent a Group Access Code which one member of the group can then use to schedule a Group Appointment online. That organizer will need to have the fee payment information and DS-160 barcode numbers for every group member. If the Embassy/Consulate does not approve your request, then every member of the group should schedule their own individual interviews.

Step 5: Visit the U. S. Embassy/Consulate on the date and time of your scheduled interview and have the required documents.
