Visa Application System to be Changed

US-Embassy-logo.jpgAccording to information on Radio Jamaica there will be changes made to the visa application system at the United States Embassy in Kingston.

The problem lies with the online application system which has been causing hold ups as persons are making several appointments.

A briefing was held yesterday with the Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs, Janice Jacobs, where it was revealed that some travel agents were also securing blocks of appointments. She also stated that in the upcoming year a new system will be put in place to remove the problem.

The proposed plan to be executed in order to alleviate the problem is to have customers pay the application fee when they book their appointments online instead of paying the fee otherwise as is being done presently.

They believe this will lead to a decline in the problem they are currently facing.

the site is really annoying,people cannot get appointments and the persons who are across the road of the embassy are able to get appointments.So stop trying to blame travel agents and take the blame mr embassador!!!!!!

Ok Lizzie, the essence of the article is dat , the us embassy has taken on a new approach to applying for us visa. This means that persons will have to pay the fee (131 usd)online when they are making applications .Dis is necessary as recently person have been having difficulty obtaining appointment dates,due to the fact that it seems like some unscrupulous persons have been overbooking the dates for whatevr reasons...Right now if you want to make an appointment for a visa there is no vacancy, u may have to wait until next year before u can get a date.

TRAVEL AGENTS CANNOT MAKE BLOCKS OF APPOINTMENTS!!! WE SIT AT THE COMPUTER AND TRY FOR OUR CLIENTS!!! EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY..STOP DISCREDITING TRAVEL AGENTS!! THE US EMBASSY TRIED THE RENEWALS ON A MONDAY AND PERSONS STARTED PUSHING EACH OTHER...SO THAT WAS CANCELLED...IT IS THE EMBASSY'S FOREIGN POLICY THAT RUN TINGS!
