Large bags, such as backpacks, suitcases or packages are not allowed within the Embassy grounds. Please also do not bring mobile phones or any other electronic devices, such as Blackberries, iPods, PDAs or remote-entry automobile key “fobs” to the interview as they are not allowed within the Embassy. Failure to follow these instructions will result in the cancellation of your appointment.
Only applicants with appointments will be admitted into the Embassy.
