The Visa Unit of the U. S. Embassy’s Consular Section is hosting an information session about Short-term Worker/Performer Visas to introduce new processing information which will become effective February 1st, 2008.  We will also answer questions about the new procedures.    Our new procedures have been developed to improve the quality, efficiency and security of service provided to the applicants and their agents.  Attending this session will give agents an opportunity to learn about the changes and get answers to questions about the short-term worker/performer program.
