Today, October 12, and tomorrow, the 13th of the same month, all routine consular services are canceled, including interviews for immigrant and non-immigrant visas (tourism and business) at the United States Embassy in Guatemala City, according to the official website of the diplomatic headquarters itself. If you have an appointment here, this is what you should do.
The US Embassy in Guatemala has canceled regular consular services scheduled for Thursday, October 12 and Friday, October 13, 2023. This includes appointments for American Citizen Services (ACS), including passports, CRBAs and notaries services, as well as interview appointments for immigrant and nonimmigrant visas.
Only applicants with an approved and confirmed emergency appointment for ACS and visa services will be admitted to the embassy on the date of their emergency appointment. All this amid growing political tension in the Central American country.
