Not Good news "Glitch crashes global US passport, Visa operations"

[Alina Ghenciu 1]

Do you think this could affect the processing of documents at the NVC? Mine are on the way there and I'm kind of curious if there will be a delay. Or this only refers to actually printing the visa after it has been issued?

This makes me feel sick! It's already been 14 months since we started this crappy process! Now finally at Nvc stage and all documents gone in. I was praying for a case complete next month. Oh please God don't delay it any further!

Once again I am not sure if I should laugh or cry.

One articles states this: The crash means the U.S. isn't able to issue any visas. The State Department's automated systems won't print visas until names are checked against records that contain the names of 78,000 suspected terrorists, the news agency said.

Wouldnt the records check have to have been done already to get NOA2 ?I am thinking that those that have already passed the check should be in the clear or no ?

I did it. Hired a bunch of hackers to take it down. The good news is that when they get it up and running, you'll all have interviews within 4 weeks.

Kidding.

But, I keep wondering when we're going to get pissed off enough to take real action. I got back to the US yesterday and my Senators and Rep will be hearing from me every day until something changes at State and HS.

Please, stop taking it in stride when they tell you oh, well there are delays, you have to wait, etc. The administration is 100% responsible for the delays that are happening. People are in the streets to protest for the rights of non-USCs (not debating that here)--where are the Americans protesting because US families are being pushed behind non-USCs?

It is time to get pissed off and in the streets.

Where did u get this part of the article? I really hope that people who have cleared Uscis are not included in it. We were stuck in their back log for long already. 10.5 months. Have had our share of worst luck. Dunno how we can deal with this now.

Sounds like its a consulate thing, the actual issuing and printing of visas, not the USCIS stage....

That explains why it is taking 5 months to get a Case Complete at the NVC. The NVC is the Dept. of State. Their computer systems all tie in together. SOOOOOO DISGUSTING

Is today April Fools' day or something?!

That's when they tried to pull my name for background checks, too many ressources were needed so the system crashed :D

Good grief.

50,000 affected just in ONE country. What the what. . Lord have mercy. We are dependent too much on technology. Hope this passes fast.

Letter writing campaigns have been useful, but they require discipline. I have tried to start a couple and they petered out for lack of my or anybody else's follow-through. Immigration is in the news right now so there's really no better time to make our voices heard.
