New visa services from US embassy

The US embassy Dhaka has introduced a new system for ‘Immigrant Visa’ collection and post-interview document submission through a new customer-friendly website www.ustraveldocs.com/bd.

Ambassador Dan Mozena announced the new system at a ceremony in Dhaka on Sunday.

In the past, document submission and visa collection services were centralised in Dhaka.

The embassy in a media release said they realised that the Immigrant Visa applicants live throughout Bangladesh.

“For many, a trip to the capital city represents a significant disruption to their professional and personal lives.”

Now applicants can reduce their trips to Dhaka and utilize a Visa Collection Center (Saimon Overseas) closer to home.These centres are located in Sylhet, Chittagong, and Dhaka, according to a news agency.

To choose a Visa Collection Center and avail themselves of document drop-off and visa pick-up services, Immigrant Visa applicants must create a profile at www. USTravelDocs.com/bd.Only the main applicant needs to create a profile.
