Finally Madrid updated their website for the new law.

This is what their website says now:

Effective immediately

As of January 22, 2007, consular offices abroad were instructed to cease accepting certain immigrant visa petitions because consular officers lacked the means to perform the required criminal background checks on American citizen petitioners, as required by the Adam Walsh Act.

Subsequently, the Department of State and USCIS worked to develop a mechanism whereby USCIS will perform these required "Adam Walsh Act" checks for any petitions accepted abroad by consular officers.

Effective immediately, consular posts abroad will accept petitions for immediate relative immigrant classification from American citizens who are resident in their consular districts, including members of the armed forces, as well as true emergency cases, such as life and death or health and safety, and others determined to be in the national interest.

****on a different page they put this for wait times

Typical Wait Time (Calendar Days*) for a Nonimmigrant Visa Interview Appointment

Visitors Visas: 1 Days

Student/Exchange Visitors Visas *** (Excludes: A, G, K, and V): 1 Days

All Other Nonimmigrant Visas: 1 Days

Typical Wait Time (Workdays**) for a Nonimmigrant Visa To Be Processed****: 1 Days

Thank Goodness!!!!!!
