Is Your Visa Application Subject to Additional Processing? Now You Can Check Your Status Online!

To provide better service to visa applicants subject to additional processing, U.S. Embassy Tel Aviv is now offering online notification to applicants whose visas are ready to be issued.  Instead of emailing us to check the status of your case, you can now check it on our website.

To see if your visa is ready to be issued, visit the Embassy's "Check Status" page at http://israel.usembassy.gov/consular/niv/checkstatus.html.

·         If the confirmation number (barcode number) from your DS-160 application appears on this list, your visa is ready to be issued. Please send your passport to the Embassy through the post office courier. 

·         If your confirmation number does not appear on the list, your case is still pending administrative processing.  Please do not contact the Embassy to inquire further; inquiries on visa status will not be answered. This process cannot be expedited.

The list of approved visas is updated daily. Since administrative processing generally takes four weeks, we recommend applicants wait at least 30 days after their interview date to check their status online.

For any other questions about administrative processing, you may send an email to TLVSpecials@state.gov.

This post only applies to applicants whose visas are subject to administrative processing.
