According to official communication, applicants have been advised not to visit the visa section during the closure period, as access to the embassy premises will be restricted due to security measures.
The embassy has further confirmed that all affected visa appointments will be rescheduled, and applicants will be informed through official channels regarding new appointment dates.

It is worth mentioning here that US President Donald Trump has confirmed that a US delegation will be coming to Islamabad, Pakistan, tomorrow (Monday) for negotiations with Iran. In a post on Truth Social, he said, “My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan. They will be there tomorrow evening for negotiations.”
