CIBU and future CIBU students who are experiencing visa issues can pause, take a deep breath and know they need not worry –we will work with you while the State Department attempts to resolve its recent technical difficulties.
The computer system that supports the State Department’s visa stamp issuance suffered a major blow in early June, 2015. Hopes for an early fix have not come to be. As a result, no visa interviews are being scheduled and no visas are currently being issued.
CIBU is aware of this situation is developing plans to assist our students. We will keep you posted by email, so there is no need for panic. In fact, what you are going to need now is patience.
Assuming the system can get back on line by the end of June, an estimated backlog of over 15,000 applications is likely to have piled up. Add to this the fact that the summer months tend to be busy (with a larger number of both students and seasonal agricultural workers applying), and that many State Department workers take time off to vacation with their families, it may be some time before the backlog is resolved.
