DOS Provides Contact Information for U.S. Embassy in Israel
U.S. Embassy in Israel update regarding E Visa Interviews:
Due to the current security situation in Israel, we have suspended all E interviews and company evaluations until further notice. If your client has an interview scheduled for the near future, you should assume that it has been cancelled. Once we return to regular operations, we will contact the companies that have an appointment scheduled to verify that they will be attending the interview or to reschedule a new appointment.
DOS issued a statement on the assistance of U.S. citizens departing Israel:
Starting Friday, October 13, the U.S. government will arrange charter flights to assist U.S. citizens and their immediate family members who have been unable to book commercial transit and seek a safe means of departing Israel. From these locations, individuals will be able to make their own onward travel arrangements to the destination of their choice. These initial transportation options will be augmented in the coming days. Senior State Department officials are actively working with airline carriers and international partners on how best to provide additional options to U.S. citizens seeking to depart Israel or conduct onward travel to the United States. U.S. citizens in need of assistance should complete the crisis intake form on travel.state.gov.
The State Department posted a message on social media, stating that U.S. citizens seeking to be in touch with the U.S. Embassy in Israel should reach out via the crisis intake form or via telephone.
