In a press release sighted by myjoyonline.com, the consul explained that this is in line with the State of Emergency declared by President Donald Trump and State Governor of New York.
However, to ensure uninterrupted services, the embassy said, "it will continue to provide online services for visa applications, attestation of documents, sale of dual citizenship forms and issuance letters."
