Delays in issuing visas for the United States are likely to persist as the computer problems causing them have not yet been resolved, Nolan Barkhouse, spokesman for the US embassy in Beijing, said on Monday.
"Our records system has been experiencing significant performance problems, including outages, since July 19," he said.
Barkhouse said the visa service returned to online working last Wednesday, but it is still operating at a significantly reduced capacity.
