The United States of America just like any sovereign country in the world has its Embassies independently in all countries apart from Bhutan, Iran, Maldives, North Korea, Syria, and Yemen.
The U.S embassies all over the world are working but at the moment, their services are limited as a result of the ravaging effect of the Covid-19 pandemics in the States.
One of the services that have been clamped down upon is the issuance of visas to non-Americans with the intention of traveling into America.
