This will result<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the unavailability of appointment booking, fee payments, and customer support calls during this period. The US Embassy has assured applicants that these services will likely resume on July 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VFS Global is responsible for managing various administrative tasks related to <a href=\"http:\/\/34.228.189.90\/temporary-technical-update-to-delay-us-visa-application-for-3-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US visa applications<\/a>. It is one of the leading outsourcing and technology specialists for governments and diplomatic missions. This temporary closure of their services is a necessary step to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To minimize any inconvenience caused, the US Embassy has provided a dedicated webpage where visa applicants can access important updates and information. This page offers detailed instructions to facilitate the transition process for applicants. Notably, the US Embassy has announced a complete shift to a new system for US visa services starting from July 22, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To aid in the seamless transfer of appointment and payment information to the new system, applicants must\u00a0 take the following steps at their earliest convenience:<\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review and update their profile information, ensuring that all entered data is accurate and complete.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If planning to pay the visa application fee in the near future, applicants should do so before July 17, 2023, as payment services will be temporarily unavailable from July 18 to July 21. Regular services will resume on July 22, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants who have already paid the visa fee but have not associated it with their profile must log in and link their payment receipt number inside to make their profile.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel coordinators, group coordinators, and family members must give each candidate and dependent a unique email address.
