“Technical problems with the overseas passport and visa systems have resulted in the unfortunate cancellation of some U.S. visa interview appointments and the delay of many potential visa appointments, the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan said in a statement.

The Embassy said they remain committed to facilitating legitimate travel and have therefore decided to open on Saturday, June 27, 2015 on an exceptional basis to conduct visa interviews.

The Embassy urgse business, tourist, student, and other nonimmigrant visa applicants to visit to take advantage of these appointments outside of the normal working hours, to schedule or re-schedule a visa appointment.
