Starting May 30, 2025, US embassies in several countries will transition to a new visa application system.
US embassies in Armenia, UAE, Serbia, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, and Turkey will switch to the updated visa appointment platform at usvisascheduling.com, replacing the previous ais.usvisa-info.com portal. This change is part of a global modernization of visa procedures aimed at standardizing the application process.
Key Information for Applicants:
- Existing appointments remain valid - If your interview is scheduled for May 18 or earlier, no action is required
- Recommendation for fee payers - Those who already paid the visa fee should complete their booking through ais.usvisa-info.com before May 19, 2025 to avoid transition issues
- System limitations May 19-29 - During this period, the old portal will be read-only: date changes or cancellations won't be available
While users currently report technical issues with usvisascheduling.com (registration errors, system instability), developers expect to resolve these problems as more embassies join the system. The new platform should ultimately make scheduling more convenient and reliable.
When planning your visa interview, consider these changes to prevent delays.
