08/04/2014: State Department Updates Visa Processing Delays Related to Consolidated Database Problem

  • State Department Notice: While the Consular Consolidated Database is still performing below its normal operational capacity, we have made significant progress and can report that we have cleared much of the backlog worldwide. We are aware of a small number of cases that are still in process as a result of the system performance issues. We are working diligently to clear those cases. Applicants are advised that they may still experience delays of up to one week in addition to normal processing times. Applicants should take this into consideration when making travel plans. Please check with the embassy or consulate where you will apply for additional information. We continue to prioritize immigrant visas, adoption cases, and emergency nonimmigrant visa cases. We are printing visas for these cases with very few delays. Please see our FAQs for further information.
