The US Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal announced from 1 March 2012, they are no longer processing immigrant or diversity visa applications. All US visa applications from Portuguese nationals will need to be submitted to The US Embassy in Paris, France.
Following submission of the US immigrant visa application, you will then need to make an appointment with the US Embassy in Paris in order to be interviewed and submit your required documentation.
All applicants who have already been interviewed in Portugal will continue to have their visa applications processed at the two offices in Lisbon and Ponta Delgada until May 30, 2012.
Lisbon and Ponta Delgada will continue to offer some US immigration-related services.
