Those seeking services which can only be provided at 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) are encouraged to attempt to make an appointment for receipt of such services in advance. It may be possible to set an appointment online to visit the nearest American Citizen Services section of a US Post with consular jurisdiction.

Those seeking visas such as the B-2 visa for tourists, the B-1 visa for temporary business travelers, the J-1 visa for exchange visitors, or the F-1 visa for students are likely to see such applications processed at a Non-Immigrant Visa Unit abroad. It should be noted that these visa applications are adjudicated pursuant to section 214(b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.

Those seeking visas such as the CR-1 visa or IR-1 visa for a foreign loved one are likely to see their visa application adjudicated by an Immigrant Visa Unit abroad after initial approval of an immigration petition at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). It should be noted that for application processing purposes the K-1 visa (a non-immigrant US fiance visa) is treated in much the same way as the immigrant visas noted above.

Those seeking an EB-5 visa or an L-1 visa are likely to only see their visa application processed pursuant to an approved immigration petition from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
