If you are applying for a visa for the first time, or are applying to renew a visa, you are required to take the same steps.

Step One: Complete the online DS-160 and print the confirmation page for each person applying for a visa, regardless of age.

Step Two: Go to https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb to pay the MRV application fee and schedule an interview, or obtain information on applying for the visa by courier.  Click on “Apply” if you are a first time user or “Continue” if you already have an account.
