BUSINESS VISA APPOINTMENT PROGRAM (BVAP)

AMCHAM DUBAI IS PLEASED TO PARTNER WITH THE U.S. MISSION TO THE U.A.E TO PROVIDE BUSINESS MEMBERS ACCESS TO EXPEDITED BUSINESS VISA APPOINTMENTS VIA THE BUSINESS VISA APPOINTMENT PROGRAM (BVAP)

Through BVAP, the employees of AmCham Dubai’s business member companies who have an evident and urgent need for business travel to the United States will have the ability to request for an expedited appointment

Only Consular officers can determine visa eligibility, AmCham Dubai facilitates this service at the discretion of the U.S. Consulate.

Participation in BVAP may require separate supporting documentation and members are in no way guaranteed an appointment or the successful issuance of a non-immigrant visa.

AmCham Dubai strongly encourages applicants to apply for required visas well in advance of their intended date to allow for adequate processing time for applications.
