On September 6, 2025, the U.S. State Department published a change regarding the American visas application for some countries, including Russia.
Interviews for all types of visas, including B-1/2, F-1, J-1, will be held only in Astana (Kazakhstan) and Warsaw (Poland), or in countries of permanent residence.
Previously, interviews for Russians could be booked in almost any country in the world, including all European countries, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, UAE, Indonesia, Philippines, Brazil, Dominican Republic, etc. Now the choice of countries and cities is limited, which will lead to an increase in the waiting time for an appointment for an interview.
As a result, the popularity of the United States as a destination for tourism and training will significantly decrease among Russian citizens.
