Sorry if I'm a bit dense, but what does the end of the US Passport crunch have to do with wait time for visas?
This part of the article:
The department said steps taken to deal with the crisis — the hiring of hundreds of new adjudicators, temporary transfers of employees to passport centers and the opening of a new facility to handle the deluge — had brought the waiting period for a standard application back to six to eight weeks and three weeks for expedited service.
So I would assume those "temporary transfers" are now back doing the work they were doing before.

Right on 
Cool!! Let's just hope they don't get some kind of long vacation before returning to Vermont!
