Warden Message from U.S. Embassy London

Dear American:

For those wondering how we in the consular section look to an outsider, in April this year, a Washington Post reporter spent a day in our section observing and speaking with staff and visitors. The resulting article was published in the Sunday, June 4 Washington Post, and provides a behind the scenes view of London's American Citizen Services section.

It can be found online at the Washington Post website.

The regular news update (weekly, rather than daily -- as indicated in the article) can be subscribed to at http://london.usembassy.gov/ukweekly.html

A couple other minor corrections --

While about 1,000 people a day visit the consular section, only about 250 of those are Americans, the remainder are citizens of other countries applying for visas.

Rather than registering the births of 6,000 infants last year, we registered about 3,500 .

As always, we invite Americans residing in the UK to subscribe to our monthly consular newsletter by sending a request to londonacsnewsletter@state.gov .
