Critical mission interview not happening

[stech786 236]

I thought US govt gave clearance for embassy to start critical mission visa interview. I don’t expect to see 100s visa interview to reschedule happen, but I don’t see things moving. 

 

does this mean, whatever US Govt says,  Embassy would ignore that? I understand if covid is dangerous in one country to hold interviews, they won’t . I see things are reopening and getting better elsewhere except US. Why am I not seeing reschedule of interviews which were cancelled in Mar.

 

Majority  of the people seem to be just waiting.

I would assume that consulates have some discretion as to when they will open up and to what degree.

They didn’t make that clear in their announcement. Closest thing I could read if was if local resources allow. Currently my consular office is doing emergency interviews only. (New born, or children turning 2)

Not every embassy has announced that they are currently doing this. I’m fact most are still closed and on,y providing emergency services to US Citizens.

Is your case emergency? If no, everyone has to wait.

it’s not, but CR1. They didn’t define critical mission as emergency. But I know emergency cases takes priority over critical. Which are CR1/IR1 . There can’t be 1000s emergency cases that I’m at bottom of the list.

They are closed doesn’t mean all are closed. This week London embassy sent out IL as an example

No Kidding- I said most embassies are still closed and you replied with “embassy’s are open”
If you had updated your profile and timeline with your country and where you are in the process you would have more accurate responses as to what applied to you.

If you want to be so technical. I repeat, embassy are open. They are just not holding Routing visas. Shutting down embassy completely  doesn’t help anyone

 

back to original question — Why aren’t embassy doing critical mission interviews as related to CR1?

Probably because they can't. Not enough resources of one kind, or another.

It does, because it helps to prevent spread of the virus. Most embassies are closed. Just because they're sending interview letters it doesn't mean they're open -interview letters have a future date, and even that is subject to change. Your case is not critical.
