On June 15, 2015, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced that its visa system is experiencing technical problems, which are now causing significant delays in visa processing. The technical problems are preventing the DOS from performing national security checks, without which the DOS may not issue visas to foreign nationals. The DOS is also unable to print some visas upon approval. The issue is not specific to any particular country or visa category.
The DOS has made some progress in restoring its
visa processing capabilities, and the Department is working around the
clock to restore the system to full functionality. In the meantime, the
visa backlog continues to grow. Many applicants are currently waiting
several weeks for visa appointments at U.S. consulates abroad, and
applicants at certain consulates must continue to wait for their
approved visas to be printed and issued. On June 23, 2015, the DOS
issued a list of consulates that are connected and able to issue visas.
