US visa system goes down

Jul 26, 2014 News

 

The US system of visa is experiencing problems. The local embassy said, yesterday, that it is also unable to issue passports and other travel documents.
The US Embassy Public Affairs in a FaceBook post yesterday disclosed that it is experiencing technical problems with the passport and visa system.
“This issue is worldwide, and is not specific to any particular country, citizenship document or visa category.”
The embassy said that it recognizes the inconvenience that this may cause to applicants waiting for visas and passports. “Unfortunately, when the system goes down, we are unable to print visas, passports and other travel documents.”
The FaceBook post, in expressing apologies to applicants who are experiencing delays in obtaining a passport, report of births abroad, or visa, asked persons not to return to the U.S. Embassy to collect travel documents at this time.
“We will update our website and Facebook pages as the technical problems get resolved to advise applicants when they can return to the Embassy to collect their travel documents.
“Please be assured that we are working urgently to correct the problem and expect our system to be fully operational again soon.”
