The United States is suspending routine visa services in most countries

WASHINGTON: The United States is suspending routine visa services in most countries because of the coronavirus pandemic, the State Department announced late Wednesday.

It said embassies and consulates in "most countries worldwide... will cancel all routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments as of March 18, 2020."

It did not specify which countries would be exempted from the suspension, which was in response to "worldwide challenges" related to the deadly pandemic.

也就是说从3月18日起,美国已经开始在全世界绝大多数国家范围内暂停常规非移民签证申请预约服务。

目前已经明确得知美国驻韩国领事馆已经全部暂停了常规签证申请预约服务。

而驻华的领事馆签证处目前还没有相关公告。由于这条新闻也是刚刚出来,不排除驻华领馆没有及时更新公告的可能。
