Security notice to all visitors to the Consulate General
Please note the following persons may accompany a visa applicant during Consular-related visit:
- Interpreter: Applicants may bring one interpreter if they do not speak English well enough to participate in an interview, and consulate staff cannot interview them in their native language. A final decision as to whether or not an interpreter is needed will be made by consular staff on the day of the interview.
- Special Needs Visitors: Applicants may bring one person to assist them if they are over 80 years of age, are a minor child, or are disabled and require assistance to complete the application process.
- Attorney: Attorneys will NOT be permitted to accompany clients into the waiting room or at their interviews.
Due to waiting room size, the large volume of applicants, and the time required to screen consular clients, other accompanying persons cannot be admitted to the waiting room, nor should they wait outside the waiting room. Drivers, friends, and extra relatives must wait at another location or return to meet the applicant after the interview has been completed.
