Full Version: Where is/was your Visa being processed?
Is this a trick question? 
Would I do a thing like that? 
Seriously, it is one or the other. Clearly though, it was the Consular Section within the two choices. AKA ConSec.

Ditto.
Embassy in Amman Jordan. 
Embassy in Ankara, Turkey the Consulates do process immigrant visas, the K Visas are considered immigrant visas. We will most likely go back for the CR-1 as well.
Consulate, Sydney, Australia. The only consualte in Australia where interviews are held for immigrant visas, though there are other state consulates that do now process if filing directly (DCF) but the interviews are still only in Sydney. The Embassy in Canberra does not process or conduct interviews for immigrant visas (including K visas).
Embassy in London, England.

My (EB-3) GC was issued at consultate in Montreal in Dec 1999 (and my US citizenship was done in Apr. 2005).

Our visa is being processed at the "Consulate" on Guangzhou since the "Embassy" in Beijing dose not do Marriage based visas in China they all go through Guangzhou.
Yodrak,
Is it possible that they received an employment based GC, then married and converted to family based GC? I read somewhere that (EB-3 employment based) GC's can be issued at Embassies/Consulates under certain circumstances.
CherryXS, Care to comment? You have piqued our curiosity.

Yep. Rio is the only consulate that will process immigration visas in Brazil.
The Manila Embassy is a microcosm of CSC... except… we can contact them directly. LOL!!!
William,
I was thinking that the DoS only issues visas, and that's what she got from Montreal. If she got LPR status (and the associated Gren Card) as an EB-3, she got it when she entered the USA, not from the consulate.
Same as other people entering on immigrant visas?

G's was at the Embassy, it was back during that period where you could only get visas at the Embassy and not the consulate. He had to go all the way to London, then a month after he got his visa, they started issuing them in Edinburgh at the consulate again.

William33, pay very close attention to rebecca's answer. Your poll question can only have one valid response from all respondents.
Gupt,
Incorrect conclusion.
Once again, an individual will always receive a Visa in the Consular Section (An office) - within the applicable Embassy or Consulate (General).
All Embassies and Consulates do not offer Consular Services, but most do.
This factual information is backed by my work in over 125 Embassies and Consulates, in over 63 countries.

You are a sly one AJ.
Bump!!!
This poll applies to nearly everyone on this forum. Simple really, either you received the visa at an Embassy or Consulate.
Please cast your vote!!

Not always. Kiev has both an US Embassy AND an US Consulate. The Consulate is where the visas are done. We learned this the hard way....we walked to both.

Joel,
How far apart are they?
Fine line here, I think. But although the consulate in Kiev may be located in a separate building and on separate grounds from other sections of the embassy, I expect that it is still functionally a part of the embassy.
Bangkok is the same way - the consulate building is on separate grounds across and maybe a hundred or so yard down the street from the embassy proper, in the Embassy Annex.

Joel,
The physical location of the Embassy and the Consular section are separate in Kiev.
Embassy:
American Embassy, Kiev
5850 04053 Kiev
Yuriya Kotsiubynskoho 10
Consular Section:
Visa Services Consular Section
6 Mykoly Pymonenka St.
Kyiv 01901 Ukraine
A Consulate would not be located near an Embassy. This concept seems difficult to understand, however I will keep writing about it until everyone has it.
Embassy - Located in the Capital City
Consulate - Located in another major City
Consular Section - Generally an office, not a building (with an exception or two, like Kiev)
Consular Section/Consulate ~ Not the same thing.
