IV Processing for Venezuelan Residents Transferred to U.S. Embassy in Bogota

On February 26, 2019, the Department of State (DOS) announced that the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, has suspended routine visa services due to the departure of non-essential personnel from the Embassy [PDF version]. Accordingly, the DOS designated the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia, as the primary site for processing immigrant visas for residents of Venezuela. Starting in April 2019, the National Visa Center will begin scheduling Venezuelan immigrant visa interviews at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota. The National Visa Center will send appointment notices for all future visa interviews at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota for residents of Venezuela.

Residents of Venezuela may apply for nonimmigrant visas at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate outside of Venezuela.
