The US Embassy in London, UK, has commented that visa services at that location will be limited during July and August 2012 for all nonimmigrant visa categories. This is due to the Olympics taking place in London during that time. Applicants are encouraged to apply for visas during the spring and early summer for a stronger possibility of an appointment; availability of appointments cannot be guaranteed during July and August. The Embassy has opened up its appointment calendar through the end of June to facilitate this.
Please note that travelers who plan on entering the United States without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (by air or sea) who do not have travel authorization approval under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization are urged to register now to travel during the summer. If registration is denied, these travelers will be required to obtain visas.
