They state they are closed to public.

Hopefully this means the bulk of workers not directly involved with the intake of customers will still be working?

As in reviewing and processing visas?

 

Any thoughts?

Our case was updated Nov. 13 which means they probably are doing paper works during these dates.

I called them today. It was just as i suspected.

The bulk of the personnel are there and working they are just not doing any visa interviews during that time period.

They probably don't want long lines of applicants standing outside with all of this going on.
