The United States Embassy in Barbados has cancelled all non-immigrant visa appointments.
The embassy says the measure is effective Thursday, January 28.
A notice on the embassy’s official website disclosed that the step was ‘due to changes in Barbados’s general COVID-19 posture.’
“If you have an urgent matter and need to travel immediately, please follow the guidance provided at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-bb, or call 246 623 9832 or 246 623 9833 to request an emergency appointment,” the notice stated.
It also said the MRV fee remains valid until September 30, 2022 and may be used for a visa application in the country where it was purchased.
The embassy said it will resume routine nonimmigrant visa services as soon as possible.
But it explained that it was unable to provide a specific date at this time.
However, the embassy encouraged people to monitor its website and social media for updates.
