I think there are visa quotas for each country but don't know how they break that down.

Here is some interesting reading:

Really what will they think of next! Nora they need to just give Ahmed his visa this is really ridiculous! They really don't realize just how many people's live's are affected from all of this waiting. But really i don't think they care either. You are in my prayers that this ends soon. And everyone else waiting i hope we all are reunited soon with our loved ones :yes: instead of getting the run around so much :angry: Keep us posted Nora on what you find out! Chin up girl!

The visa is printed on a special paper that makes it difficult to counterfeit. I would say it is possible that they ran out (but poor planning if they did). The machine that affixes them to the passport was broken in our case, which caused a delay. So yes, possible, but I'm sorry for your delay.

I'm the USC.

Yea, today the lady told me that his passport is ready (has been for weeks and weeks but whatever) but the visa wont be printed today. I asked why and she said because we don't have visas. HUH? I still didn't understand and she said we had to order from america. Of course she didn't know when they would come in.

I almost wanted to laugh when she said that but i wasn't really awake yet.

I wonder what will happen next :huh:

P.S. Congrats Mona u got married today!

I think I have read somewhere that Consulate's may start limiting the amount of Visas issued...

You would have thought that the last person pulling a "blank" visa off the shelf would have said..."Hey, we're gettin' low people!!!!" That's a bunch of #######!!!!! :angry:

I'm really sorry for you. I would be mad as the devil!!! :devil:
