Visa Issues: The OIG does not handle visa issues. For these matters, please contact the U.S. Visas section of the Bureau of Consular Affairs.

Complete the form below to report an allegation to OIG.

WARNING - Do not include any classified information. If reporting your complaint requires the disclosure of classified information DO NOT USE THIS FORM. Instead, please contact the OIG Hotline at 202-647-3320 or 800-409-9926. Do NOT discuss classified information over the phone.

Please note: OIG does not investigate complaints about the denial of U.S. visas.

Any individual contacting OIG may:

  1. Remain anonymous; or
  2. Disclose identity but request confidentiality
  3. Fully disclose identity

It may be necessary for OIG to reveal a confidential complainant's identity if OIG determines that disclosure is unavoidable during the course of the investigation or if the disclosure is otherwise required by law.

Complainants who file anonymously, or those requesting confidentiality should understand that filing as such may hinder OIG's ability to thoroughly pursue their complaint.

Individuals wishing to remain anonymous need only respond to the mandatory fields denoted with an asterisk (*).

OIG may determine that the best course of action is to refer your complaint, including your name and contact information, to a specific bureau, embassy/consulate, or other office within the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Agency for Global Media, U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, or to an external agency such as another OIG or Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency.
