   "As of July 27, the Department of State has made continued progress on restoring our system to full functionality. As we restore our ability to print visas, we are prioritizing immigrant cases, including adoptions visas. System engineers are performing maintenance to address the problems we encountered. As system performance improves, we will continue to process visas at U.S. Embassies and Consulates worldwide. We are committed to resolving the problem as soon as possible. Additional updates will be posted to travel.state.gov as more information becomes available."

Maybe they should sub-contract the system to China.    After all they probably already have access to it! ;)

Willy, most of the I.T. support used to be out sourced off shore to India, but recently many companies are beginning to out source to the Philippines instead, and their English is easier to understand over the telephone! ::)
