Have there been any recent changes in visa issuances at U.S. consulates?
No new laws have been made, but you should expect that applications will now be going through an extensive screening process. Some embassies no longer offer “mail-in” services and will now only allow appointments to be scheduled to process applications. Some embassies have closed in certain countries. Delays can be expected to take six – eight weeks. Due to the delays, please allow yourself ample time for the application processing when planning to travel.
