How to Use the USA Embassy
The purpose of the United States Embassy is to aid in cultural and political relationships between the United States and the countries in which these embassies are operated. These embassies offer services to the citizens who live within these countries and United States citizens who are visiting these foreign lands.
- Visit the United States Embassy to file for a travel visa. Visas allow non-citizens to visit the United States for a specified amount of time. Prior to the expiration of this visa the non-citizen has the opportunity to reapply if eligible. Attend scheduled interviews and provide the agency with all requested documentation.
- Visit the United States Embassy to apply for United States citizenship. Obtain an application for citizenship and follow the instructions you are given when you submit this application. You are interviewed more extensively than when you apply for a visa and the process takes onwards of up to one year or more.
- Contact the United States Embassy if you are a United States citizen who has given birth in a foreign country. These children are given legal citizenship through automatic citizenship and/or expeditious naturalization. You are required to provide documented proof of the birth to the United States Embassy located in the foreign country.
- Contact and/or visit the United States Embassy if you are a legal U. S. citizens who encounters a serious emergency on foreign soil. The land in which the United States Embassy sits and the building itself is considered property of the United States. If you are a United States citizen seeking asylum on foreign soil you should contact the embassy by phone or get to this property immediately.
