As the Obama Administration braced itself for an imminent shutdown, the White House has said that all US missions abroad would work at a low capacity and only emergency visa applications would be processed during that period.
"Embassies and consulates will continue to operate at lower levels of service. Only emergency passports and no regular passports and visas will be processed," the Office of Management and Budget Deputy Director Jeffrey Zients, told reporters at a White House news conference.
"In the event of a shutdown, the (State) Department will provide limited emergency visas only. And in the event that we should have to cancel visa appointments, we'll make every effort to notify visa applicants as soon as possible," the State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.
Toner advised visa applicants to check their website --- travel, state and government, before their scheduled interviews
