Visas to the U.S.

Visa Services

As a result of the April 7 Ordered Departure of non-emergency embassy personnel, the Consular Section will be forced to reduce routine visa processing.  While the Ordered Departure is in place, immigrant visa appointments will be rescheduled and non-immigrant visas will be limited to a small number of emergency cases only.

Immigrant visa applicants will be notified by the National Visa Center (NVC) or the embassy consular section when their visa interviews have been rescheduled.  

Non-immigrant visa applicants who wish to travel to the U.S. for routine business or tourism should consider postponing travel or applying for a visa at the consular section of an American Embassy or Consulate General outside of Yemen.  Persons who believe they can demonstrate a compelling reason for urgent travel should follow the instructions on the non-immigrant visa section of our website under expedited appointments.
 

Consulate of the United States of America

The Consular section of the U.S. Embassy provides a variety of services for American citizens and citizens of Yemen. These services include:

  • Application Fees for Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Visas to Increase.
  • American Citizen Services assists people with passport renewal, registration of Americans residing in or visiting Yemen, birth reports for children of American citizens born in Yemen, voter registration, income tax forms, notarial services and emergency services to American citizens. As a non-claiming Federal Benefit Post, the consular section carries out federal agencies' requests for services; distributes federal benefits checks; and hands out available forms.
  • Non-Immigrant Visas for temporary visas to the United States including tourist visas, business visas, student visas and visas or medical treatment.

  • Immigrant Visas for people wishing to immigrate to the United States.


    • Please search our pages for more detailed information about each of these services. If you have further questions, please write to us or call us during our telephone hours.
