US visa applicants at the Consulate General in Kolkata have faced uncertainty after visa interviews could not be conducted over the past two working days, according to US visa applicants. The applicants of US visa said they were informed that recurring technical issues have left them waiting for US visa interviews while they remain in the dark over fresh appointment dates.
US visa applicants in Kolkata scheduled for visa interviews on Friday said while they queued up outside the consulate from before 8 am, most of them were not allowed to enter the office. About an hour later, officials informed them that interviews could not begin because the systems were down following lightning and thunderstorms. As a result, even applicants with the earliest appointment slots were unable to proceed with their interviews.
