In response to the recent outbreak of Swine Flu in Mexico, the U.S. Department of State has announced that it will suspend all visa and passport appointments at the U.S. Embassy and all of its Consulates in Mexico through May 6, 2009. This announcement is precipitated by a previous announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that strongly urges U.S. citizens to limit their travel to Mexico.

Individuals with appointments scheduled between April 27 and May 6 will receive emails from the Embassy/Consulate’s scheduling center with a request to reschedule. Appointments may also be rescheduled by calling 1 (800) 719-2525.
