U.S. Department of State Planning Domestic Visa Stamping Pilot Program
Bloomberg Law has learned through an exclusive interview with Julie Stufft, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Visa Services in the Bureau of Consular Affairs, that later this year, the U.S. Department of State will launch a pilot program where those people in H visa status and L visa status can obtain their visa stamp in the U.S. Such a program previously existed, but was eliminated in 2004. This program should make international travel/ visa stamping more convenient for those in H visa status and L visa status as well as reduce the consular processing workload for U.S. Embassies/Consulates. It is possible that the U.S. Department of State will expand this program for other visa statuses.
If you have questions or concerns regarding international travel including visa stamping/consular processing, you may wish to consult with an immigration attorney.
