A notification on the official U.S. visa information website indicates that a problem with the visa system is causing delays in the issuance of visas. Another update on the website of U.S. Consulate, Mumbai, indicates that technical problems with the passport / visa system are causing delays in the issuance of U.S. passports, visas, and Consular Registrations of Birth Abroad.

Some of our clients have experienced delays in the issuance of visas. It is important to take this delay into consideration when planning any travel to the United States. We will keep our readers informed of any significant updates on this subject. The official notifications can be found at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/in and http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/immigrant_visas.html. Further, a notification on the DOS’s website indicates that, on account of the technical issue, the DOS has been able to print only about half the number of visas which they generally print on an average day. This update also clarifies that priority is given to immigrant visas, adoption cases and emergency non-immigrant visas. This information can be found here.
