Friendly staff & Quick processing! I had to visit US embassy to get my H1B stamped and I was very pleased I chose Helsinki embassy over New Delhi one. The embassy is located right if the gulf coast so the accessibility is pretty good. There was no queue outside so getting in was pretty quick. The laptops are not allowed inside but the guards told me that I can store them at the ferry terminal locker so I had to do that but it wasn't a time consuming affair. One I got inside, the staff was super helpful. The sitting area is quite modern and processing is pretty fast! I didn't have the photo with White background which they asked me to drop by the window and even recommended me the place that was close-by. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience :) Overall read more

I had the pleasure of visiting the US Embassy in Helsinki. It is situated right on the Gulf of Finland with a great view of the water. The security is top notch, and the embassy grounds have many beautiful plants and flowers. The inside is modern and extremely clean. The staff was very friendly and one of the receptionists helped me with the ferry schedule to Estonia (I wanted to plan a day trip). I chatted with one Marine who was from North Carolina, and he was a cool dude. Respect to them doing their duties overseas protecting our territories. read more
