The U.S. Department of State (DOS) continues to experience worldwide technical problems with issuing visas, the result of an apparent hardware failure. On June 22, 2015, the DOS announced that the visa issuance problems have been resolved in 22 consular posts. However, delays continue with both scheduling appointments and visa issuance. More information is available on the Bureau of Consular Affairs website.
