Federal Benefits Unit contact form SUCCESS

Thank you for contacting the Federal Benefits Unit (FBU).  The staff of the FBU will normally respond within 7 work days.

We are closed on U.S. and UK Public Holidays, and also on the last Thursday of each month for training purposes.

Please note that any inquiry NOT relating to Federal Benefits will not be answered or redirected.
Information on passports, visas, or  IRS, can be obtained from links in the Embassy web site at https://uk.usembassy.gov

If you require a personal interview with the FBU, you will be given an appointment date.   See security information below for your visit to Embassy London.
