Scores of Ugandans visited the Embassy registration site and waited patiently for assistance, which included questions and answers on immigration matters. The participants expressed appreciation to the Embassy for bringing the services closer to them, given the individual costs involved in traveling to Washington, DC. They asked that the Embassy makes periodic visits to the United States sub-regions for Consular outreach and education programs.
