Overview

Examples of groups include, but are not limited to, professional trainees, performance troops, and tour groups. Very large groups may be allocated appointment times over multiple days. There is a minimum of 10 applicants required to apply as a group.

IMPORTANT:

-This option is not for registering family groups.

-This process has a duration of ten (10) to fifteen (15) days of processing before the appointment date.

How to Apply

Step 1

Please send an e-mail to caracasgrupos@state.gov with the invitation letter, group information, travel dates, purpose of the trip, travelers information and bank statements. The US Embassy will contact you to continue with the process.

Step 2

A designated group coordinator uses the online appointment system to click on Group Scheduling Request and to request a group appointment. It is not possible to submit a request through an agent. Once the request is submitted, wait for a response from the U.S. Embassy which will come via e-mail.

Step 3

If the U.S. Embassy approves the request, the group coordinator will receive an e-mail inviting him or her to return to his or her profile to schedule appointments for each member of the group. A call center agent cannot schedule group appointments, but they are able to assist with questions. Should the U.S. Embassy deny the request for a group appointment, a notification will also be sent by e-mail. In this case, each group member must schedule an individual appointment.

Note: The e-mail confirming or denying your request comes from no-reply@ustraveldocs.com. Some e-mail applications have rules which filter unknown senders into a spam or junk mail folder. If you have not received your e-mail notification, please look for the message in your junk and spam e-mail folders.

Step 4

Each group member must pay the visa application fee. In the case of making a bulk fee payment, you will receive only one receipt number per transaction and will use this receipt number for each valid MRV fee paid.(Add the bulk payment table)
