Visas
 

Welcome to the U.S. Embassy Consular Section. The Consular Section is staffed by U.S. Foreign Service Officers and a staff of both Ukrainian and U.S. citizens who can help you with a variety of questions concerning the issuance of U.S. Visas.

The Department of State manages the visa process strictly but fairly in order to best protect the United States. We are committed to the essential openness for which the United States has always been known. Travel to the United States is welcomed and encouraged.

We promise to you, the visa applicant, that:

  • We will treat you with dignity and respect, even if we are unable to grant you a visa.
  • We will treat you as an individual and your case as unique.
  • We will remember that, to you, a visa interview may be a new or intimidating experience and that you may be nervous.
  • We will use the limited time available for the interview to get as full a picture as possible of your travel plans and intentions.
  • We will use our available resources to fairly assist all applicants to get appointments to allow travel in time for business, study, and other important obligations.
  • We will post detailed and accurate information on visa requirements and application procedures on every Embassy and Consulate website.
  • We will provide information on nonimmigrant appointment waiting times at every Embassy and Consulate posted at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/wait_4788.html?post=Kyiv&x=86&y=13

  • Medical and humanitarian emergency traveler, we will expedite processing for those dealing with life threatening emergencies.
