Is that it?

1. Can't comment on time frame as never applied from USA. You need to apply via the Embassy in DC's website and go through the pre-screening before submitting application.

2. Cash is king! You wouldn't believe the amount of people who have been denied entry due to problems encountered trying to pay by card, also worth noting that if you pay by CC it is processed as a cash advance, not a payment. Also, some airlines demand to see the cash ie. Asiana.

Thanks for all the info everyone i appreciate it !

I just got my visa approved. you have to fill out a prescreening thing then they email you. The embassy in DC is pretty good at getting back to you. initially filled out prescreening thing and they wanted me to get more information added to the employment letter. After resubmitting employment letter it took 1 or 2 more days.
The embassy called me on the 2nd day asking me to check my email and confirm i got it.

I was good to go! Then took a few more days to get passport returned

The embassy in DC seems more on top of the process but it's not difficult

Last summer when at the airport in JFK-- Eva airlines asked to see my cash. The airline seemed pretty thorough. They reviewed my health certificate as well

I take it mandatory vaccine not required as yet for visa application ??

The guy at the embassy asked me if was vaccinated -- which i am.

It wasn't a sticking point but the vibe from the conversation made me feel it will be in the future. I also asked about vaccinated travelers bypassing or reduced quarantine-- answer NO..but also seemed like that was something that might happen in the future

Unfortunately, my future is late july
