U.S. Embassy Bridgetown launched a program to offer visitor visa (B1/B2) applicants the opportunity to move their appointments to an earlier date for no additional fee. Applicants who are eligible and selected will receive an email notification with instructions on how to reschedule to an earlier appointment date. Legitimate offers to reschedule to an earlier appointment will come directly from the online appointment website via [email protected].
If offered the opportunity to reschedule to an earlier appointment date and the appointment system does not show availability, we encourage applicants to periodically check back as appointments specifically for those selected will be continuously added throughout the year. This service covers citizens of Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Grenada, Martinique, Monserrate, St. Barthelemy, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, French St. Martin, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This program, and the efforts of the consular section in Barbados, who have been adjudicating visas in record numbers, will assist more citizens of our consular district to travel to the United States in the coming months.
In fiscal year 2023, the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown adjudicated over 57,000 visas, the highest number ever. That represents a 40% increase over our 10-year average and an increase of 60% over 2022.
