US Consulates In Canada Limiting Visa Appointments This Summer

As reported by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), US consulates in Canada will be limiting visa appointments for 3^rd-country nationals during the months of June, July and August of this year.  This will not affect those with already-scheduled appointments.

Demand for visa appointments is reportedly increasingly high during these months, resulting in difficulty for 3^rd-country nationals to schedule visa interview appointments.

AILA reports that emergency cases may seek consideration for scheduling an interview at a Canada post by visiting canada.usembassy.gov.

Otherwise, 3^rd-country nationals are encouraged to schedule their visa applications at US consulates other than those located in Canada (e.g., applying through the US consulate in one's home country) during the 3-month period.
