As of September 6, 2025, new instructions from the US Department of State for processing nonimmigrant visas came into effect
Where can you apply now
🔘 For citizens of Ukraine who do not have legal residence in another country, US visas can only be obtained in Krakow and Warsaw
🔘If you have a residence permit or permanent residence in another country, you need to contact the consulate of that country
What will happen to already scheduled interviews
🖤Current appointments for interviews are usually not canceled.
🖤However, fees (MRV fee) paid in other countries are not refunded or transferred.
❗️ Exceptions
The updated rules do not apply to applicants for:
- diplomatic and official visas (A, G, C-2, C-3, NATO),
- as well as cases where submission is possible for humanitarian, medical or political reasons.
🇺🇦The main thing for Ukrainians
- If you live in Ukraine → apply only to Warsaw or Krakow.
- If you live abroad legally (with a temporary residence permit / permanent residence permit) → apply in your country of residence.
- Registration in “third countries” is now severely limited, and paid fees are not refunded
