In order to use this system, the case must be completed with all documentation submitted per our instructions. Applicants, who delivered all the required documents to the consular section, will be able to schedule their appointments after 3 weeks from the delivery date. The Consular section will upload your case number to the website which will allow you to schedule an appointment. The steps to schedule an appointment are:

1- The primary applicant must create an online profile at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/eg and follow all instructions given. All family members assigned to the case must be listed as dependents.

2- After creating the profile, you again log on to: http://www.ustraveldocs.com/eg to schedule your appointment using your case number.
NOTE: If you cannot log into the system in order to select an appointment, then this means your case has not been cleared with all required documents submitted. If a case does not have all required documents submitted, we will return the package to you for completion. REMINDER, you will not be able to schedule an appointment if there are missing or incomplete documents. Please follow the instruction we will provide you to ensure all documentation is completed and submitted.
