Consulate Takes Precautionary Measures Related to Influenza Outbreak
Tijuana, B. C., April 27, 2009. On April 27, the Government of Mexico announced that as a precautionary measure, all schools in Mexico from kindergarten through university level will remain closed until May 6.
In accordance with measures announced by the Government of Mexico to limit the congregation of large crowds, the U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana has decided to suspend processing of non-immigrant visa appointments scheduled Tuesday, April 28 through Tuesday, May 5.
In addition, our services to American citizens will be limited to citizenship requests (passports and consular reports of birth abroad, or CRBA) and emergency assistance only. Notarial and other routine services will not be available; those holding passport or CRBA appointments are encouraged to reschedule for a later date.
These are precautionary measures only, taken to best assure the well-being of our clients and staff.
Our offsite visa appointment scheduling center will call or e-mail all of the applicants affected to reschedule their appointments for after May 5, 2009. Visa applicants may also call 01-800-719-2525 to reschedule their appointments without charge. If there are emergency visa issues please email TijuanaInfo@state.gov for assistance.
