Important Information Regarding Current U.S. Visa Issuance Procedures
According to a recent announcement by the US Department of State, appointments for the visa application process for international students at US consulates and US embassies have been temporarily paused.
Until further notice, U.S. embassies and consulates will not be offering new appointments for visa applications. The official reason given is a revision of the current visa issuance process.
Please note the following:
- Visas that have already been issued remain valid and are not affected by this change.
- Existing appointments for visa applications are, according to current information, expected to be honored by the consulates.
We strongly recommend that all affected students regularly check the official websites of the relevant U.S. embassies and consulates for updates.
