U.S. Embassy Yerevan expects to be able to restore full visa services by next week thanks to the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs’ hard work to resolve the technical issues that affected consular systems worldwide. Due to the backlog of pending visa cases caused by these technical issues, we remain unable to print visas within the usual 2-3 business days.
Non-Immigrant Visa Applicants (Tourists, Businesspeople, Students, etc.):
If you scheduled an appointment and were informed that your appointment was cancelled by the Consular Section, please call +374 60 27 0113 to reschedule your interview.
If you were interviewed, your visa was approved, and the Consular Section has your passport, you can pick up your passport and visa at the U.S. Embassy:
– Monday, June 29 from 4:00 – 5:20 PM
– Tuesday, June 30 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM
– Wednesday, July 1 from 4:00 – 5:20 PM
– Any work day afterwards from 5:00-5:20 PM. (Please note that Friday, July 3 is an Embassy holiday.)
If you were interviewed, your visa was approved, and you have your passport, the passport may be dropped off at the Embassy beginning Monday, June 29th. Your passport and visa will be available for pick-up one calendar week from the day the passport is dropped off, unless it is a holiday or weekend, in which case the passport and visa will be available for pick-up on the next working day after a calendar week has passed.
If you were interviewed, your case required additional administrative processing, and your case number has been posted on our website, you may return your passport to us beginning Monday, June 29th. Your passport and visa will be available for pick up one calendar week from the day the passport is dropped off unless it is a holiday or weekend in which case the passport and visa will be available on the next working day after a calendar week has passed.
We understand that this worldwide technical issue has inconvenienced many travellers, and we apologize for any disruption in travel plans. We are working diligently to ensure a quick return to normal visa processing times.
