Yes, unfortunately it is true. Goodness knows how long it will take to fix it.

Also, it happened last year in July as well. Though I'm not sure how long they were down for last year, but they got back logged 200,000 visas at the time.

Hello and welcome to real life. This has been out for over a week and is on every state department website as well as multiple threads here on the subject. It is a worldwide issue and no visas can be printed, they expect the problem to last at least through next week.

Shouldn't be a problem for you as your timeline states you're still waiting on your noa 2 from 2013 :dancing::dancing:

This "shut down" of visas, for no telling how lone (hopefully next week back on line) is going to cause one huge back log of visa issues, and I fear the thousands of mistakes that will be made.

By the embassy's trying to catch up.

I would expect to see extended AP's especially in the Philippines.
