Important Notice

Effective immediately, the Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bridgetown will only accept family-based I-130 petitions filed by American citizens who have been resident in the Eastern Caribbean for at least the preceding 6 months. 

 Persons wishing to reside permanently in the United States will need an immigrant visa. The most common categories of Immigrant Visas are: 

  • Immediate Relatives 
  • Family-based (certain relatives of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents)
  • Employment-based
  • Diversity Visas for winners of the DV lottery

Note: After reading all the information available on this website and its links, if you still need addition information, the Immigrant Visa unit can be contacted by phone at (246) 227-4110, Monday through Friday between 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. 

Due to security considerations, there is no information window for walk-in visitors.  Only those with appointments or with specific business, such as reporting a lost/stolen green card, will be admitted to the Consular Section.
