The US Embassy said today the State Department’s Consular Affairs Bureau was experiencing some technical snags with its visa system and as such has requested visa applicants to monitor the website, http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/ or the US Embassy Facebook page for updates.

The Embassy said:

The Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs is currently experiencing technical problems with its visa systems. The issue is not specific to any particular country or visa category. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working urgently to correct the problem and restore full operability.

Currently, U.S. embassies are unable to print most nonimmigrant visas and process online applications submitted after June 8, 2015. Colombo visa applicants with June appointments who completed their online applications after June 8 are encouraged to reschedule their interviews at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/lk/.

Colombo visa applicants should monitor our website at http://srilanka.usembassy.gov/ or the U.S. Embassy Colombo Facebook page for updates. Assistance with rescheduling is available by calling 011-770-3703 between the hours of 8am and 8pm on weekdays or emailing support-srilanka@ustraveldocs.com.
