Interviews for all non-immigrant visas to the United States have been
put on hold in India following a hardware glitch in the State
Department’s computer systems.
Interviews scheduled between June 22 and 26,2015 at the U.S. Embassy in Delhi
and Consulates General in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad have
been cancelled. Visa applicants with appointments during the period have
been asked to reschedule their appointments for biometric enrolment and
visa interview to a date after July 06,2015
The problems stem from a hardware failure in a State Department facility
in the United States on June 09,2015.
That failure is preventing the
department from processing and transmitting biometric data checks at
visa-issuing embassies and consulates… Each visa decision is a national
security decision, and we take our obligation to protect the United
States seriously,” U.S. Embassy in Delhi said in a statement
