Information for Yemeni Citizens Applying for Petition-Based Immigrant Visas

Updated March 31, 2015

Since the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a, Yemen has temporarily closed, the National Visa Center (NVC) will transfer petition-based immigrant visa cases for Yemeni citizens to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt until our embassy in Sana'a re-opens.

The NVC is working closely with the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to schedule interview appointments. We are first scheduling interviews for cases that were already in process at the embassy in Sana'a, along with cases whose documents have been fully submitted to the NVC (referred to as "documentarily qualified") and are non-expired. We will process these cases in date order.

Some cases at the NVC that were documentarily qualified and waiting for an appointment date in Sana'a will have expired documents. You will need to update and send these documents to the NVC before we can schedule an appointment. We will process these cases in date order to ensure fairness.

You will receive instructions from the NVC that are specific to your situation. You can request that we hold your case until the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a resumes operations. However, we cannot estimate when the embassy will reopen.

The NVC will contact you by mail or email when it is time for you to begin processing your case. You do not need to take any action at this time unless instructed. Please check this website periodically for updates or new instructions. Thank you for your continued patience in the immigrant visa process.

Information for Yemeni Citizens Applying for Petition-Based Immigrant Visas

Updated April 7, 2015

Petition-Based Immigrant Visas

Notice: The U.S. Department of State is scheduling immigrant visa (IV) appointments for Yemeni applicants at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo (for petition-based IVs). Currently, the Egyptian government requires Yemenis ages 18-60 to obtain Egyptian visas prior to arrival in their country. Please contact the nearest Egyptian Embassy for information on how and where to apply for an Egyptian visa, and for updates on changes to their visa policy. Those who prefer to process at a post other than Cairo may request a transfer through the National Visa Center (NVC) by emailing their request toivyemen@state.gov. Persons who are physically present in Djibouti and unable to travel to another post may process their immigrant visas at the U.S. Embassy in Djibouti. Such applicants should contact Embassy Djibouti directly. Yemeni applicants who choose to process in Djibouti are cautioned that this may require remaining in Djibouti for an extended timeframe, possibly several months or more.

The NVC is working closely with the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to schedule interview appointments. They are first scheduling interviews for cases that were already in process at the embassy in Sana'a, along with cases whose documents have been fully submitted to the NVC (referred to as "documentarily qualified"). We will process these cases in date order.

Some cases at the NVC that were documentarily qualified and waiting for an appointment date in Sana'a will have expired documents. You will need to update and bring them to your appointment. We will process these cases in date order to ensure fairness.

I have just received an email from IVYemen@state.gov

The subject was "Update on the status of your immigrant visa petition", and the email body said "Attached to this email is information about the reassignment of your immigrant visa case to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt.

Thank you.".

Along with the email there was a document detailing that my case was transferred to Cairo. Did anybody else receive this email, did they send it out to everyone, or does this mean that I will be getting an interview date soon?

Did they say exactly that they transferred it to Cairo or will transfer it there whenever there is availability?
