    Delay in Delivery of Approved Visas

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    I was kinda under the false impression Australia would come online first... Low risk, very friendly relations - hell, we even have a special visa just for Aussie workers! (E-3)

    No idea who's come online first. Nobody here has reported a visa delivery just yet, which I assume the first of which will come through in a day or two.

    I am not sure if Australia will be in the first batch as they said the first 22 represents about half of the global volume of the nonimmigration visa.

    well well well....we will see who is the lucky one to get the passport back tomorrow :)

    Here is the latest update from Jun 22.

    Technological Systems Issue
    JUNE 22, 2015

    Visa Systems Issues

    • The Bureau of Consular Affairs is in the process of resolving technical problems with our visa systems. Though some progress has been made, biometric data processing has not been fully restored.
    • Our team continues to work on this 24/7 to restore the systems to full functionality.
    • As of noon today, 22 posts have been reconnected, representing about half of the global nonimmigrant visa volume.
    • We will continue to bring additional posts online until connectivity with all posts is restored.
    • Last week, nearly 1,250 temporary or seasonal workers who had been issued visas in the past were issued new visas in Mexico, and we have issued more than 3,000 visas globally for urgent and humanitarian travel.
    • We deeply regret the inconvenience to travelers and recognize the hardship to those waiting for visas, and in some cases, their family members or employers in the United States.
    • We continue to post updates to our website, travel.state.gov.

    I am SO angry about this. I have been waiting over 20 months to be with my family since I started this process. I was banking on getting my visa within the 2 weeks. Nope, I have to be out of my apartment before June and now I get to live on the street until I get my visa. Just perfect timing. AND this happened in July last year, almost exact same problem. They were back logged 200,000 visas.

    My brother works in IT and the fact that it's been down for a week now is just a serious joke. They need to get their asses in gear and hire some better people.

    Same boat here!!

    I got kicked out from my current place today and going to stay at a temp place which is without internet.

    If i don't get the visa/ passport by next Friday, I will get kicked out by the country as wel. arghhhhhhh.....
