Good afternoon,
According to consistent press reports, the USA wants to expand the screening of foreign students and exchange students in social networks and initially not issue any new F, M and J visas. New guidelines are now being drawn up for the US diplomatic missions abroad.

Good afternoon,
Currently there are an increasing number of fake calls with the following content:
A person introduces themselves as a US Border Control official. A US number (area code 001) appears on the display. The caller's aim is to obtain the following information:
When asked if the person can clearly prove their identity, the caller becomes aggressive and threatens that US authorities will appear at the caller's home within 30 minutes, expel them from the country and impose sanctions.
In the cases known to us, no checks were carried out. We assume that the calls are fake.
Please remain calm. The following procedure may be appropriate:
Best regards
Your DVKG Team

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
At the moment, appointments - e.g. for B1 visas, but also for other visa categories - can only be booked at the US consulates to a limited extent and sometimes with longer lead times.
We will process your orders as quickly as possible and inform you immediately as soon as and for when an appointment can be booked.
