U.S. consulates in three Russian cities will resume interviews for nonimmigrant-visa applicants next week, less than four months after those operations were suspended following Moscow’s order for deep cuts in U.S. diplomatic staff.
In a statement on December 4, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow said the consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Vladivostok “will begin to offer limited interviews for nonimmigrant visas” on December 11.
