Guangzhou Immigrant Visa Unit Closes Until Further Notice and State Department Announces Limited Services at Other U.S. Embassies and Consulates in China

On December 15, 2022, U.S. Mission China Consular Services announced that due to the operational impacts caused by the surge of COVID-19 infections across China, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai are providing passport and emergency citizen services only. The U.S. consulates in Wuhan, Shenyang, and Guangzhou will only provide emergency consular services until further notice. All routine visa services (with very limited exceptions) are temporarily suspended and all regularly scheduled appointments at U.S. Embassy Beijing and the other Consulates Genera have been canceled.
