The us-embassy in sultanate of Brunei provides us citizens visiting Brunei or resident there with very helpful information as well as Brunei citizens who are in the process of issuing their visa for the United States. a tour through this information will give you a nice idea about what the embassy offers.

As for the us citizens
U.S. citizens can benefit from many services done by their embassy in Brunei, for example:
To register their stay outside the U.S. territory the embassy had launched a secure site that they can through it register their stay in Brunei
They can also register their newly born child so they can issue a birth certificate, social security number and a passport. Please note that the child must meet the requirement needed to be eligible to claim the American nationality.
The embassy is your destination if you want to issue a passport, renew your passport, report a stolen one, add extra pages or extend your passport validity
The fees ranges from 75$ to 100 $ according to the service done. The embassy provides the applicant with all the forms need to be filled and a list of all the required documentation, photograph requirements, where and when they could apply for these services.
In case of emergency the citizen can reach the embassy through phone
The us embassy in sultanate of Brunei offers her citizens notary service for the documents, social security service and there is a veteran department which fosters the veterans there.

For Brunei citizens
The embassy offers Brunei citizens the service of issuing nonimmigrant and immigrant visa
If you are intending to visit the United States temporarily or for study or you are a diplomat you have to fill the required forms to issue your non immigrant visa and file all the documents needed for this

If you are a bruniean and looking for immigration to united states , unfortunately the us embassy in Brunei is not authorized to accept these type of applications so you have to apply to the us-embassy in Singapore for you immigrant visa. You must fall under one of the visa categories which are: immediate relative, family sponsored, employer sponsored and special immigrant.
