Americans seeking services which can only be provided by an American Post abroad, such as: notarial services, Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, passport renewal, etc. are generally required to make an appointment online with the Embassy or Consulate prior to arrival in order to ensure that a request can be processed.

After the processing and approval of a visa petition at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) an approved petition for a travel document such as a K-1 visa, CR-1 visa, K-3 visa, or IR-1 visa is generally sent to the National Visa Center for further processing and forwarding to a US Embassy or US Consulate with appropriate jurisdiction. Upon arrival at a US Mission abroad a candidate for a US visa must undergo the Consular Processing phase of the immigration process which usually includes an interview. In some cases, the visa application is quickly approved if the Consular officer feels the case is worthy. In other cases, the officer may feel that further documentation is necessary to approve the application. Under such circumstances, a 221g request for further documentation is issued and the visa candidate is given a specified period of time to remedy the deficiency before expiration of the application. Immigrant visa applications are generally processed by an immigrant visa unit at a US Post abroad. Meanwhile, non-immigrant visa applications are usually processed by a non-immigrant visa unit abroad. For purposes of Consular Processing a K-1 visa is usually treated in much the same way as an immigrant visa.
