Trump Administration Plans to Close Key Immigration Operations Abroad

[CaptainJack]

If this has already been posted, my apologies.   If not, this is a big change coming and any American citizen wanting to bring their Thai family to the USA need to know about. I put the Reuters link because the NYT link has limited access.  To the moderator.  This might also belong in the main Visa section.   Your call.

Any 

Yes,

 

This is the only one I looked at on short notice since you brought the date to my attention.  It does look like the original article is correct.   The scope is probably the big question at this point.  Will this effect Bangkok Embassy services? I doubt we will know much ahead of time.

In that I started this topic, I'll try and do diligence here.  These  are the only three international offices that are reported closed as of today.   I will not be surprised to see more coming.
