The United States Embassy in Beijing and Consulates General in Mission China
would like to take this opportunity to advise the American Immigration Lawyers
Association that changes have been made to consolidate the processing in China
of H and L visa applications for foreign nationals seeking to work in the United
States. Starting March 1, 2019, interviews for H and L visas will be conducted
only at the U.S. Embassy Beijing, U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou, and U.S.
Consulate General Shanghai. We will no longer be conducting H or L visa
interviews at U.S. Consulate General Chengdu or U.S. Consulate General
Shenyang. We have made these changes due to the volume and complexity of H and
L visa cases and to ensure that we have the proper resources and expertise to
efficiently process them.
