The embassy has not been reopened for long, and there have been various issues with the new appointment system and the COVA form system. We may not be able to directly share all of these situations with the applicant, but we will do our utmost to assist with the application process.
To ensure a smooth visa application process and minimize any potential issues, we will spend a considerable amount of time and effort assisting applicants with reviewing forms and organizing document submissions. The visa application process has become increasingly complex, and we need to be in control of the entire process to successfully help you obtain your visa. Therefore, answering hundreds of your questions during the application process will no longer be the main focus of our service. If you agree with our service philosophy, please carefully read the following instructions and begin preparing your application materials.
Procedures and steps:
Step 1: Regardless of which type of visa you are applying for, please use COVA VISA FORM FILLING TIPS to start filling out the COVA form, but don’t submit it.
It’s okay if you have questions and issues during the form filling phase, please fill out the form to the best of your ability!
Don’t worry if you make mistakes, because we will help you check it later.
Step 2: Send the COVA form ID number, passport number, phone number, and the following basic materials to Oasis by email in JPG or PDF files:

-For security purposes, all of your email & files are store on Google Workspace; and, we do not click external links or download .zip files;
Step 3: Oasis logs in the COVA form, checks the basic materials, and then performs an evaluation.
During the process of checking your COVA form, we will make an assessment based on the information in your form and supporting documents. If we are able to assist you with your visa application, we will charge you the relevant fee and guide you through the process of modifying your COVA form and mailing the required documents to our office. If we determine that we are unable to assist you with your visa application, your credit card will not be charged any fees.
Step 4: Oasis will do the final inspection after receiving the materials you sent, and then help to make an appointment and submit them.
If we find any issues after receiving the materials, we will promptly contact the applicant to make supplementary or corrective measures.
Step 5: After a few weeks, the applicant will receive their passport and visa mailed back by Oasis.
