We are continuing to work with the contractor in order to make this service more convenient and useful for everyone. For those clients who had difficulties with the service in its first days, or who wish to register complaints, please call 456-5622. While the appointment system should eliminate the need to wait in line outside the Embassy for hours, travelers must still plan ahead. We would like to remind visa applicants once again that applications may also be made through travel agencies. While this still requires advanced planning, it eliminates the need for an appointment, and, in most cases, the need to come in to the Embassy at all.
Travel agencies can handle tourist, business, student, work, and exchange visa cases.
Student, work, and exchange visa applications are returned to the travel agencies which submit them in one week. We recommend that our clients choose this option whenever possible. The Consular Section is pleased and excited to be welcoming a new Consul General, Susan Alexander. She arrives August 3. We look forward to three great years under her leadership.
