Copenhagen and Oslo Embassies to Stop Processing Immigrant and Diversity Visa Applications

Share this:

On October 1, U.S. Embassies in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Oslo, Norway
will no longer process immigrant or diversity visa applications. After
that date, neither of these embassies will schedule nor conduct
interviews for these applications. All immigrant and diversity visa
interviews and adjudications for residents of Denmark, Norway and Sweden
will instead take place at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm Sweden.

The Copenhagen and Oslo embassies will continue to process all cases
that are currently in process up to December 31, 2011.After that date,
all pending immigration and diversity visa cases will be transferred to
the Stockholm Embassy. These two agencies will continue to offer some
immigration-related services, but these services will be limited. Please
note that the embassies will, however, continue to process nonimmigrant
visas for area residents.
