News - U.S. Embassy in Armenia Launches New Visa Appointment System

In a significant update for individuals planning to travel to the United States, the American Embassy in Armenia has rolled out a novel system aimed at streamlining the visa appointment process. Effective immediately, all visa applicants—whether seeking non-immigrant or immigrant visas—are required to utilize this new scheduling platform. According to officials, this change aims to enhance the efficiency and security of the visa application process. During a press briefing, embassy representatives emphasized that the transition to the new system will not affect those who have already booked their appointments using the previous method. These applicants are encouraged to attend their interviews as originally scheduled without any interruption or the need for rescheduling. The system introduces numerous features designed to facilitate a smoother interaction with visa applicants. Highlights include advanced scheduling capabilities, automated reminders for upcoming appointments, and a user-friendly interface that supports multiple languages. The embassy believes that these improvements will help reduce waiting times and simplify the overall application procedure. Moreover, the embassy underscored their commitment to assisting applicants who may encounter issues during the transition. Dedicated support channels, including a helpline and email support, have been established to address any concerns or questions from the applicants. Visa applicants are advised to visit the embassy’s official website for detailed instructions and to access the new system. Additionally, the embassy continues to encourage individuals to ensure their application documents are complete and to seek assistance early should they need clarification on the visa process. As this new system takes effect, the embassy reaffirms its dedication to fostering people-to-people connections and facilitating legitimate travel between Armenia and the United States, thereby strengthening the bilateral relationship.
