Approved - What Now?


Once your application has been approved and legal documentation has been sent out to you, you can then book your face to face interview at your local US Embassy or Consulate.
This is the last step in the process!
Please see below for a step by step guide on how it all works.

*Please note: this information relates to interviews booked at either the US Embassy in London, the US Consulate General in Belfast or the US Embassy in Dublin. If you are planning on attending an interview in a different country please refer to the local instructions for your location embassy.

Download your legal documents from your CIEE BEACON account

Once you've been approved by CIEE in the USA, you'll receive an email to confirm your documents have been released.
You can then log into your BEACON account and download your DS-2019 Certificate of Eligibility.
You will also see instructions on downloading your I-901 SEVIS receipt.

Once you have both these, you can go ahead and book your face to face interview at the USA Embassy.

Remember - you can't complete your DS-160 or book your face to face interview until you have your DS-2019# (also known as a SEVIS ID) - this number shows on your online BEACON account when your application has been approved.

You'll need to have your hard copy documents for your interview however, so please make sure you print these out!

Please note the US Embassy charges $185 US for visa interviews (approx £150). This is separate to the SEVIS fees paid on your behalf

The SEVIS Email

Once your application has been processed through SEVIS you will receive an email confirming this from FMJfee.

This email is confirmation that CIEE have paid your SEVIS fee - but is not confirmation that your documents have yet been printed or shipped from the USA.

Please wait for your paperwork to be generated before you book your interview!
