As you all know a dozen countries are closing embassies. Which means, interview scheduled are canceled with no future dates

 

For, those who had their country embassy close, did you receive email of cancellation of interviews?

 

if so, what’s the details.

My wife got an email saying her interview was going to be rescheduled. This was before we were able to get the location changed. The interview was originally scheduled at the consulate in Guangzhou China.
