Those wishing to visit the official website of the US Embassy in New Zealand please click HERE.
Those wishing to obtain services which can only be performed by American Consular officers (such as Consular Report of Birth Abroad issuance, US Passport issuance, or issuance of additional visa pages to a previously issued US Passport) are well advised to attempt to make an appointment online with the American Citizen Services (ACS) Section of the US Embassy or US Consulate with appropriate geographic jurisdiction.
Those seeking Non-Immigrant Visas such as the US student visa (F-1 visa) or the J-1 exchange visitor visa are likely to see their visa application processed by a non-immigrant visa unit. It should be noted that applications for the visa categories noted above are likely to be scrutinized pursuant to section 214(b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.
Those American Citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents seeking immigrant visas such as the CR-1 visa and/or the IR-1 visa for a foreign spouse are likely to see the beneficiary’s visa application processed at an Immigrant Visa Unit abroad. It should be noted that for processing purposes the K-1 visa (A non-immigrant US fiance visa) is treated in much the same manner as the spousal visa categories noted above.
EB-5 visa seekers and L-1 visa seekers must generally obtain approval on an immigration petition from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) prior to making a visa application at a US Mission abroad. E-2 visa seekers may be required to process an immigration petition or apply at a US Post abroad depending upon the applicant’s circumstances.
