U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE SELECTS CGI TO DELIVER VISA APPLICATION PROCESSING SERVICES IN 25 COUNTRIES ACROSS EUROPE AND ASIA

CGI Federal Inc., a wholly owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Inc., has been awarded three task orders by the U.S. Department of State (DoS) to support end-to-end visa application processing services for the Bureau of Consular Affairs across Scandinavia, central Europe, China and Southeast Asia. These task orders were awarded under CGI's Global Support Strategy for Overseas Consular Support Services 2.0 (GSS 2.0) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ), multiaward prime contract and have a combined two-year-base-period financed value of $37.4-million (U.S.), and a combined total contract value of $137.3-million (U.S.). Under these newly awarded task orders, CGI will continue to provide critical processing support for non-immigrant and immigrant visas through 2032 at U.S. embassies and consulates in 25 countries across Europe and Asia.

CGI will leverage its CGI Atlas360 solution to provide visa applicants the opportunity to manage their application process, including inquiries, scheduling and document tracking. The solution also gives applicants more channels through which they can pay their visa fees and receive their documents. Government officials at embassies and consulates also benefit from reduced administrative burdens, greater transparency and easier auditing.

"As a trusted collaborator with the Bureau of Consular Affairs, we will continue to deliver technical expertise, combined with our international experience and mission understanding to optimize the performance of U.S. consular processes in these dynamic regions of the world," said Lacy Perry, CGI senior vice-president, consulting delivery, international affairs business unit.

"We are evolving the user experience while streamlining and automating processes that lead to a smoother, more efficient and customer-centric visa application process for applicants," said Jason Dee, CGI senior vice-president, international affairs business unit lead. "Our work with the Bureau demonstrates their trust in CGI to deliver critical services such as intake logistics, communications and document processing."

CGI has more than a decade of experience managing the DoS visa application process in 70 countries and, in fiscal year 2023, processed almost 5.5 million visa applicants globally. Last year, CGI announced the extension of its support for consular affairs for visa processing work in India.
