The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala announces that it does not plan to schedule immigrant visa interview appointments for adopted Guatemalan children March 18 – 21, 2007 during the Annual InterAmerican Development Bank Governors Assembly, which will be held in Guatemala.  The U.S. Embassy understands from organizers that, as of January 2007, there are already 2,800 persons registered to attend this meeting, including nine Heads of State.  The major hotels most used by American citizen adoptive parents are already fully booked for most of the period from March 15 through March 21.  While we will continue to monitor the situation closely, the U.S. Embassy Guatemala expects that final adoption cases sent to the Consular Section from the DHS/USCIS office the week of March 12 through March 16, will be issued “Pink Slips” and scheduled for immigrant visa appointments the week of March 26 through March 30, 2007.
