The Fogarty/NIH Passports and Visas Office is Temporarily Moving

Effective January 17, 2023, the Fogarty International Center (FIC) Visa Passport Office (VPO) that is currently located in Building 31, Room B2C05 will be temporarily relocated to Building 31, Room 3B41 due to renovations.

Currently, the renovation is scheduled for approximately six months. We will send you additional communications as needed and when the renovation is complete as we prepare to move the Office back to its permanent location.

Important dates and information

On Friday, January 13, 2023, the VPO staff will physically relocate to the temporary location.
Please recommend to your IC staff who have a visa or passport-related case that needs to be managed to submit their packages to the VPO before or after Friday, January 13, 2023. The VPO staff will not be available to receive or process cases because they will be physically relocating and their systems will be down.
