6 open positions in this category
The 0967 series covers the State Department’s passport and visa specialists. Passport specialists adjudicate passport applications at the passport agencies and centers around the country, verifying citizenship and identity, detecting fraud and deciding difficult cases; visa specialists work in the Bureau of Consular Affairs on visa adjudication support and policy from the United States, while visa interviews abroad are conducted by Foreign Service officers. All of the listings here come from Department of State headquarters announcements.
Recent listings have included a passport specialist, a passport specialist in fraud prevention, a supervisory passport specialist, a visa specialist and a supervisory program analyst.
Applying tip: passport specialist announcements rate experience in adjudication, examining documents and applying law and regulation to individual cases, so experience in benefits adjudication, immigration or legal work translates well; every position requires U.S. citizenship, a background investigation and usually a security clearance. The application timeline guide explains the stages between applying and an offer.
