All previously scheduled Visa appointments for Oct. 9th are being cancelled and rescheduled for another day as U.S. consulates worldwide will be closed on Friday, October 9, while the State Department upgrades its computer systems. All those affected by the closure should be contacted by the relevant consulate to reschedule their interview.
