Default Can Things Get Any Worse???

Hi everyone:

I am writing this thread in hopes that other people whom may know a little more about the situation may offer some input. I petitioned my husband whom resides in Caracas, Venezuela. The political unrest of Venezuela is only getting worse and it seems that it will be affecting our immigration proceedings. The following is a public announcement published in the Caracas, Venezuela US Embassy web site...................

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


27 December 2002

Due to a reduction in staff, the Embassy of the United States announces that effective Monday, January 20, the nonimmigrant and immigrant visa units will be closed to routine visa applications until further notice.

Beginning January 20, the non-immigrant visa unit will only accept visa applications from high-level Venezuelan officials and diplomats, third-country diplomats who are accredited to Venezuela, the spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens who wish to depart Venezuela temporarily, and documented emergency humanitarian and medical cases.

We will notify the public when visa appointments beginning January 20 can be rescheduled. The Embassy of the United States regrets this measure and hopes for a swift resolution of the crisis affecting Venezuela.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks for any help...

Claudia

A few posts back I mentioned that Argentina and Venezuela petitions may be tagged for extra scrutiny. Not much credence at the time, but I am beginning to wonder if that info was right on the money.

It certainly is beginning to look that way.

No, the Venezuela issue is because of the situation over there right now.
