Speaking with hand

Speak with a retired consular section chief

Hi, I’m Adam. In September 2026, I retired after 23 years of supervising visa officers and managing complex consular operations for the U.S. Department of State. I know firsthand what happens behind the consular window because I was the one directing the teams, analyzing the regulations, and making the final determinations.

Experience matters

My 23-year consular career took me to U.S. Embassies and Consulates in Mexico, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Myanmar (Burma). I have twice served as a consular section chief, and twice as a deputy consular section chief, overseeing visa managers and officers.
