Visiting the USA - Nonimmigrant Visas

U.S. Embassy Consular Section to Reopen April 1, 2008

The consular section of the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade will re-open to the public April 1, 2008, for both non-immigrant and immigrant visa interviews. The full range of American citizen services will continue to be available.

Repairs have been completed to sections of the U.S. Embassy that were damaged by protestors on February 21. The extensive damage forced the closure of the consular section for over a month. Visa applicants will again be able to access the consular section via the main entrance on Knez Milosa Blvd.

Starting April 1, applicants from Serbia and from Montenegro should no longer schedule appointments for visa interviews at the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb or other U.S. embassies in the region.

Immigrant visa applicants scheduled to interview during the closure will be called to reschedule their interviews. They should not contact the consular section to reschedule.

In addition, the Department of State has authorized the return of all family members and non-essential American staff who were ordered to depart Serbia on February 22nd.
