CONSULAR OPERATING STATUS
The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince is on Ordered Departure status. The reduction in staff impacts our ability to provide routine consular services. The Immigrant Visa (IV) Unit will continue to prioritize certain emergency cases. The U.S. Embassy in Nassau has been designated to conduct visa services for residents of Haiti. IV applicants should review the U.S. Embassy in Nassau page for additional instructions.
Due to staffing constraints, our consular section has suspended IV case requests from NVC. Limited DNA collection for IV and USCIS cases continues, as conditions permit. For information about your IV case, please contact us (toll free) +1(800)759-6238 (0018007596238 directly from Haiti) or, if calling within the United States, +1(703)249-4685, or email: Haiti.Visas@gdit-gss.com. Those wishing to transfer an IV case to Nassau or another country of legal residence should contact NVC here. (NVC Contact Information)
