Hard Times Expected at Toronto Consulate
Jeffrey S. Tunis, the consular chief for the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, issued a memorandum on March 5, 2008, stating that the consulate expects a severe staffing shortage this summer and noting that the facility is “solidly booked” with respect to nonimmigrant visa appointments. The consulate is taking steps to reduce its workload, including not accepting any unsolicited telephone calls.
