Damn, I"m sorry to hear that vazpayne and Jayann/Jay. I knew you both had interviews today, and I signed on specifically to get news of the results. Looks like they are closed the 21st as well. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for a rescheduled interview.

Leon & Mylene it is very disappointing. I wish they would have decided yesterday to close rather than having so many people wonder if it is open or not. What sucks is that we are not even gonna be prioritized to have an early schedule for our interview and have to get whatever is available and we've waited like a month for this day to come :( i am so sad that we have to wait a long time to be together.

Unfortunately I am not able to go to the interview with my fiance since of my work schedule :( I really hope they will somehow prioritize those that were not able to be interviewed even if we can get an afternoon schedule rather than waiting another man. It makes me sad knowing that we got this far and then find out we have to wait another month. They should at least be considerate especially those who've traveled far just to make it to their interview today when they could have announced it last night rather than having people wonder if it is open. I know they are concerned for the safety of their workers but what about the people who traveled to get to the embassy.

I am stressed out as well. I heard that they will not give a priority date for those that were not able to get interviewed Monday-Tuesday. What kind of BS is this. They want their employees to be safe but what about the people who tried to get to the interview when they could have announcement Sunday about closing it Monday and they could have decided last night to close the embassy also rather than having people wonder. Have you tried rescheduling it again today? They should be considerate enough to not make us to reschedule since we may not get anymore dates.:(

Ugh..this is really beginning to suck :( I called also and they said I should call back Thursday to reschedule. Hopefully we both get a schedule before August ends. I so regret rescheduling the original interview date. We were supposed to be schedule for August 29....such a wrong move ;(

Does your fiance got the white paper? Coz i read that for those who showed up at the gate were given this paper and they would come back anytime not later than aug 29 and doesnt need to resched the interview. Im curious coz you told me he went to embassy his morning. But im not sure coz maybe this instructions are only for non immigrant applicants.

I have a friend who went there this morning. She was on the line but sadly they were turned away without any "white slip". I think that would only apply for those who were entertained but embassy cancelled all the appointments last Aug19. I hope they would give us consideration given this kind of circumstances. If in case you were,able to resched your appointment please let us know. :) let us help each other.

Hi, I have the same experience and I do hope this gets sorted out. I'm kind of a nervous wreck. Been following quietly but can't help not to respond so that I can also add to the positive vibes...hopefully the more positivity we bring into this situation the more we get to receive the good news!

Keeping the Faith.
