The U.S. Department of State is currently experiencing technical problems with its visa system, which are affecting global operations. This issue is worldwide and is not specific to any particular country or visa category, IPN reports, quoting a press release of the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau.
It’s not known how long the delay will be. Applicants who interviewed with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate after July 21 and would like their passports returned to them without the U.S. visa may contact chisinau-ca@state.gov with their name and passport number.
Applicants who have an urgent need to travel to the United States may contact chisinau-ca@state.gov with their name, passport number, and nature of the emergency. Only true emergencies of an extraordinary humanitarian nature can be considered for exceptional handling.
