- Sending Documents: Fax or e-mail? -
When an original document is required you should send it by mail or courier of course. But if you need to send a document for information purposes only you can send it by fax.  Best would be however if you send your document(s) by e-mail, as a PDF file for instance.  This will allow us respond quicker and assist you better with any consular issues you may have.  ImmigrantVisasAms@state.gov

- Please Read our Access and Security Notice -

Bringing items that cannot be brought into the Consulate may delay your entering the building. Please read our Access and Security Notice (click on the picture). Thank you for your cooperation.
