Executive Summary: On June 23, 2015, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) updated its alert regarding the technical problems that resulted in world-wide delays in visa processing, announcing that 39 consular posts, representing more than two-thirds of the agency’s normal capacity, are now online and issuing visas. DOS also stated that it expects the system to be fully reconnected this week and will work over the weekend to clear the backlog of visas. DOS is currently rescheduling more than 1,500 visa applicants who were unable to be interviewed last week because of the systems problems.
