On the U.S. Embassy Oman website, if I need assistance with a U.S. visa, what is the primary recommended method for contact? Describe how this method works and confirm if there are any direct phone numbers or email addresses for any type of visa assistance explicitly listed on the 'Visas' page or its associated tools.
Navigate to 'http://om.usembassy.gov/' Click on the 'A U.S. Visa' link. On the 'Visas' page, locate the 'Contact Us' section. Click on the 'Visa Navigator' link. Examine the 'Visa Navigator' popup to understand its functionality. Scan the entire 'Visas' page and the visible content of the 'Visa Navigator' popup for any explicit phone numbers or email addresses for visa assistance (general or specific). Synthesize the findings regarding the primary contact method, its functionality, and the presence/absence of other direct contact information.
State that the 'Visa Navigator' is the primary recommended method for U.S. visa assistance. Clearly explain that the 'Visa Navigator' functions as a self-service knowledge base or FAQ system, allowing users to search for answers to common questions, and that it is not a direct communication channel for submitting individual questions. Confirm that no general direct email addresses or phone numbers for visa assistance are explicitly listed on the 'Visas' page or within the 'Visa Navigator' popup. Identify and state the specific phone number (+968 2466 7735) provided for assistance with updating DS-160 barcode numbers, noting its specific purpose.
