Non-Immigrant Visa Office Closed January 3-4, 2000American Citizen Services Remain Available
American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) will be closed for NONIMMIGRANT VISA visa (including student visa) processing on January 3 and 4, 2000, in order to be available to assist American citizens in Taiwan and elsewhere in the region with problems which may arise as a result of the Y2K computer bug. U.S. visa processing posts worldwide will all be closed to the public for at least the first two working days of the year 2000.
AIT interviews for IMMIGRANT VISAS will NOT be scheduled from December 20 through January 7, 2000. Immigrant visa applicants who have already been interviewed will be permitted to continue their applications during this time. U.S. Citizens will be able to file immigrant visa petitions as normal during this period.
Due to the unforeseen impact of the Y2K bug, these periods may be lengthened as circumstances warrant.
TRAVELERS TO THE UNITED STATES SHOULD TAKE NOTE AND PLAN ACCORDINGLY FOR THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF VISA SERVICES.
Travelers with a life or death emergency requiring visa services during AIT's visa closure should send a fax to 2709-0908 or visit the public information window at AIT.
