Forms and Documents
The following documents are mandatory for all non-immigrant applicants regardless of visa type:
- a valid passport;
- the original MRV fee bank receipt from Banca Transilvania;
- one photograph (See Photo Requirements); and
- the DS-160 application form.
Note: Form DS-160 should be completed and submitted at least 48 hours in advance of the visa applicant’s interview date.
For children under the age of 16, one of the parents or a legal guardian must complete the DS-160 form. All children under the age of 18 are required to present an original birth certificate. If only one parent is present at the visa interview, either a notarized declaration from the other parent giving permission for the child to travel to the U.S. or an original custody agreement showing sole custody is required.
Generally, non-immigrant visa applicants should also bring any documents that demonstrate personal and economic ties to Romania. Examples include:
- proof of current employment and past work history;
- evidence of financial support (including bank statements, salary history or pension statements if retired);
- proof of property ownership (i.e. home, land, business); and
- business statements and accounts (if you own a firm).
Note - Depending on the type of visa for which you are applying, additional documents may be required. For a list of required documents for each visa type, click one of the NIV visa links in the list to the left.
