According to a Liaison between the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the U.S. Department of State: E visa processing is to be consolidated at the U.S. Embassy in Rome and U.S. Consulate in Milan, effective Jan 1, 2007. Applicants for E visas "in the Florence and Naples consular districts will be asked to apply in Rome, but may also apply in Milan providing they are residents of or physically present in Italy." This change in procedures is intended to "ensure uniform processing and posts plan to set up dedicated channels of communication for applicants and their attorneys."
