U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, to Resume Normal Operations

The United States Consulate in Nuevo Laredo will resume normal operations on Monday, August 8 at 8:00 a.m. Visa applicants scheduled for appointments on August 8 will be seen on that day.

Mexican authorities have improved security in the immediate area around our consulate in Nuevo Laredo. U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Antonio O. Garza, called on the Mexican government to take swift and decisive action and they have done so. We call on the government of Mexico to continue to take decisive steps to reduce crime and violence due to gangs and narcotics traffickers operating on the border.

All Americans traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border are encouraged to review our Consular Information Sheet, which is available at the following web address: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html.
