20, 2001 - Department of State (DOS) reports that visa revalidation
applications and supporting documents sent to the DOS during October
17, 18, and 19, 2001, continue to be in quarantine pending anthrax
decontamination. Impacted individuals who need to travel should apply
for a new passport and apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate. DOS will
provide a letter to support a new passport application. For further
information on how to obtain a support letter from DOS, please see
our website article posted on December 17, 2001. DOS is planning to
send a message to posts explaining the situation and asking posts
to accommodate the individuals affected. DOS cautions that it will
be up to the individual posts whether or not they will accept photocopies
of approval notices, I-94s cards and other supporting documents.
