State Dept Computer Crash

[asafrommaui 1]

My wife had her interview this past week at the Tokyo Embassy and her CR1 Visa was APPROVED. However...due to the computer crash of the State Department's Visa Data Base, NO Visa's are being issued. They have her passport and are not printing, inserting into passports, or mailing them out. She has had to cancel Air Flights at her expense and we are not being told when they will resume. At this most happiest of times....Finally after a year and a half of this USCIS, NVC, and then at the Embassy experience...we are approved and told to wait for who knows how long. What has been some of your experiences out there? Who else is held up in this mess???

This is another reason why you don't book plane tickets until visa is in hand. There are plenty of posts about this subject in the news section of the forum.
