Ciudad Juarez Movement (interview)

[Aaab 41]

Hello all

 

I just had an email about an hour ago stating my August 14 Interview was cancelled. I was so sadden to see this, it was still 2 months away. I thought maybe by then things would be better and i could attend. Has anyone else had their appointment that far cancelled recently or has anyone had their appointment rescheduled? I was so looking forward to August and now who knows how many more months this will put us back AGAIN. We were there and Covid 19 happened so it put us back to August and now this.

 

The email said:

 

* The appointments at the applicant service center (ASC) Ciudad Juarez ASC and the Consular SEction Ciudad Juarez for the following applicant(s) were cancelled.

It then states names and appointment dates that were cancelled

 

It continues to say:

To schedule a new appointment or to get more information, please log into our website.

 

Best regards,

the CSRA Visa Appointment Information Service Team*

 

 

The email said nothing about being cancelled because of Covid 19 nor did it give any explanation at all. I went to check if I could reschedule and still everything is blocked with this message in red

*There are no available appointments at the selected location. Please try again later.*

I forgot to add I could have had an appt the end of April but I booked my appt for Aug knowing things would stop for a while because of covid 19. I booked that Aug appt around the 15th of March. I only assume they are cancelling people booked for August so they are able to reschedule people with cancelled March/April appointments for August. Just an assumption.

They also cancelled the July and August appointments by US Embassy in Pakistan according to a response on their FB page. Let's hope it is just to reschedule older cancelled appts.

Do you mind me asking what date NVC approved your documents prior to interview being assigned?

I believe that the Presidential Proclamation of April and then updated in May or June disqualified K-1 visa applicants until next year.

K1 visas aren’t banned. Here’s a link where you can see they have been given in some countries during covid-19. My assumption is that those cases were considered as emergency appointments.
