On September 30, 2024, the Department of State (DOS) launched the Applicant Visa Information Tracking System (AVITS) to enhance services for visa applicants. AVITS is currently active in several countries, including Belgium, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, France, The Gambia, the Netherlands, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.
If you are in any of these countries and seeking to travel to the United States, or if you are a U.S. citizen needing information, please visit the AVITS website (https://www.usvisaappt.com/visa/ ). This user-friendly platform allows travelers to apply for a U.S. visa by creating an account, paying application fees, and scheduling visa appointments. U.S. citizens traveling abroad can also find general support and assistance through this site.
