The Department of State and the Student and Exchange Visitor Program
have begun reissuing F, M and J visas at consulates and embassies
throughout the world. Issues with an interface between the two agencies’
systems were resolved and the visa reissuance began at the end of
business on November 18, 2011.

On November 14, the Department of
State discovered an issue with the communications between its
Consolidated Consular Database and the Student and Exchange Visitor
Information System. In order to avoid major data issues, the agencies
jointly decided to halt the issuance of student visas until the issue
was resolved.
