CAN THIRD COUNTRY NATIONALS APPLY FOR VISAS IN BAGHDAD?
Yes. Applicants of all nationalities are welcome to apply at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, as long as they are applying for a visa type that we are authorized to adjudicate, i.e., A, G, and J visas. Please keep in mind, however, that the presumption of immigration as outlined in Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act is more difficult to overcome outside your area of residence. Third Country Nationals applying for visas other than A, G, and J (such as tourist or business visas) must apply at a U.S. diplomatic post outside of Iraq.
