Those seeking services traditionally provided by an American Citizen Services Section of a US Embassy or US Consulate abroad (such as issuance of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, US Passport, or additional visa pages for a previously issued US Passport) may be well advised to attempt to contact the post to make an appointment for such services in advance as doing so may streamline the processing of requests.

Those seeking non-immigrant visas to the USA such as the B-2 visa (tourists), F-1 visa (students), J-1 visa (exchange visitors), or B-1 visa (business visa) are likely to see their visa application processed by a US Non-immigrant visa unit abroad. Such applications are usually processed pursuant to the language of section 214(b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.

Those Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents seeking immigrant spouse visas such as the CR-1 visa or the IR-1 visa are likely to see their visa application processed at an Immigrant Visa Unit abroad. It should be noted that although the K-1 visa is technically a non-immigrant US fiance visa it is generally processed in much the same manner as the immigrant spouse visas.

Those seeking an EB-5 visa as a prospective immigrant investor in the USA are likely to only have a visa application processed pursuant to an approved immigration petition from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). The same could be said for those seeking an L-1 visa.

Those seeking services such as the issuance of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, the addition of pages to a US Passport, or the issuance of a new US Passport are well advised to contact American Citizen Services (ACS) at a US Embassy or US Consulate abroad. In many cases, making an appointment with ACS prior to arrival at the Post can greatly streamline the processing of requests.

Those wishing to obtain non-immigrant visa benefits for the United States [such as a US tourist visa (B-2 visa), US student visa (F-1 visa), US business visa (B-1 visa), or a US exchange visitor visa (J-1 visa)] are likely to see their visa application processed at a non-immigrant visa unit abroad. Applicants should note that non-immigrant visa applications are generally scrutinized pursuant to section 214(b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.

Those Americans wishing to obtain Immigrant spouse visa benefits (such as the CR-1 visa and the IR-1 visa) are likely only eligible to do so after receiving an approved immigration petition from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Those seeking non-immigrant US fiance visa benefits in the form of the K-1 visa are likely to see their visa application processed in a manner similar to the Immigrant spouse visas noted above.

Those seeking immigrant investor visas such as the EB-5 visa or the L-1 visa are likely to only see their visa application processed after the approval of an immigration petition from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
