US will not issue entry visas until the end of the week
The failure of the computer system, which led to the suspension of the issuance of US entry visas, will be eliminated no earlier than next week, said the head of the press service of the State Department, John Kirby.
Kirby said that we are talking about the failure of the equipment used to transmit biometric information of citizens of foreign countries applying for entry visas from consular offices in the United States for verification.
According to him, more than 100 specialists are working on solving this problem.
«Это очень важный вопрос, вопрос безопасности. Мы не собираемся торопиться с ним, и мы хотим решить его правильно», — заявил Кирби.
