전 세계 미대사관 비자 발급 중단?

오늘 갑자기 일하는 곳에서 외국인 직원 대상으로 이런 단체 긴급 메일이 떴네요..길게는 7월 말까지 미대사관에서 비자 인터뷰 처리가 지연될 가능성이 크다네요..비자 만료상태로 여행하시는 분들 참고하세요...저는 그나마 8월 여행이라 괜찮을 것 같지만요..원래 가끔씩 이런 시스템 오류가 생기나 보죠???

Recently, an unprecedented breakdown of systems occurred at the U.S. Department of State.  This breakdown is currently preventing the Department of State from completing security background checks.  Consequently, the Department of State, which operates all U.S. consular posts around the world, has suspended visa processing at every U.S. consular post.  The most recent alerts indicate that while some consulates have come back on line, most remain unable to issue visas. 

Though the Department of State expects to fix the problem within one week, the breakdown has created a visa backlog of approximately 3 weeks.  Many consulates have cautioned that they do not expect to resume normal processing of visas until late July as they spend the next few weeks addressing the backlog.  Indeed, as of now, the Department of State is cancelling all visa appointments made after June 9, so if you have an appointment scheduled, it may not be honored at this time.
