青岛签证归属面签地在哪?
关于美国签证的管辖范围,其实这个不是那么准确的说法。比如北京领区的申请人,如果是申请F1的话一般是在上海或者广州面签;而申请B2旅行签证的,则是都在北京面签。 这是因为美国的签证政策是根据其大使馆和领事馆的“管辖范围”来设定的(Visa Policy),而不是根据地域概念来的(Duty Station)——也就是说,一个城市的出入境管理局管的地区,就是那个大使馆/领事馆的管辖区域了-_-#...
所以如果你去查每个城市的大使馆网页,都会找到该城市被分到哪里一栏- - 比如上海的URL 上会写着Shanghai is under Washington DC’s jurisdiction, so all cases for this city will be processed in our Visa Office in Beijing (except those who are applying as a part of group tour). You may also see “Washington, D.C. Jurisdiction Includes: Shanghai and Jiangsu province ” on the home page of URL 北京的URL 有这样的介绍: The New York City Consulate General has responsibility for nine states, Puerto Rico, and Guam; the Boston Consulate General covers six northeastern states plus Maine and Vermont ; the Chicago Consulate covers Wisconsin , Indiana , Illinois , Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio… etc. So basically it is stated that each consulate general have its own area or state which they are responsible to handle visa applications. In other words, you can figure out your whereabouts by looking up at what states your case goes into. Each consulates have its own website, please go there for more details about visa processing time, appointment, fee etc. 同样北京的网站也有这样的一段内容:
For further information regarding visas policy, please visit U.S.Embassy’s web site: http://www.usembassy-beijing.org/visa/visitor‐overview . It explains clearly how we process tourist visas and visitor from different countries. Please pay special attention to the list "Jurisdictions" in Section IV, which tells you which consular district deals with your application。 And please note that most people whose applications are not directly handled by the Embassy in Beijing choose to visit the American Visa Application Service office operated by VFS Global near Pudong Airport since April, 2007. This new service offers applicants faster processing times than normal embassy services through centralized handling and less human intervention. For detailed procedures and fees, please visit their
