All visa appointments have been suspended until further notice. Immigrant visa appointments will be rescheduled at a later date. In the meantime, please direct any specific immigrant visa inquiries to the Beirut, Consular IV MailBox at BeirutIV@state.gov.
Persons whose nonimmigrant visa appointments have been cancelled may reschedule at a later date.
