The 2012 London Olympics are fast approaching.  In response to the anticipated strain on the resources of the U.S. Embassy in London, visa services will be limited during July and August for all nonimmigrant visa categories. The U.S. Embassy encourages applicants to apply for visas during the spring and early summer as appointment availability cannot be guaranteed. Appointments are currently available until the end of June.

The Visa Reissuance Program has been expanded to include H‐1 visa applicants and their derivatives that are renewing a visa of the same classification that has expired in the last twelve months. The Program is also available to O, P, J and C‐1/D visa applicants. All applicants must be physically present in the United Kingdom to utilize this program and may still be required to appear in person for an interview.
