Guest aaa Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 If America starts the war with Iraq, what will the American Consulate do during the time? Will the consulate close or will they still operate? Maybe they will have limited operation hours with increased security? I am not sure but I am worried about this situation...... I have heard on the news that a first strike could happen late next week. We have all been waiting for so long and I know that a war is very serious and American lives will be lost, and I may sound selfish, but we have been waiting too long and I miss my wife very much and want my her here with me.AAA Link to comment
Eric&Yuhui Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Don't worry. Consulate will function normally. Link to comment

The Iraq government will be crazy to attack the consulate in China. However, the people at GZ may be distracted by the war and won't work as hard. In today's news, Explosion in southern Philippines (airport) kills at least 19, injures more than 100. A powerful bomb hidden in a backpack. We can't worry about everything or it will ruin our lives.

AZwolfman Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Before A.S. stopped talking to me, I did ask him his opinion on this. He felt that the war would have no effect on our visas. The only effect might be the temporary disruption in visa applicants of places such as Iran, Saudi, Iraq, etc. Link to comment
Mick Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I would not think that the Consulates in China would be affected if war breaks out in the Middle East. Might see a bit of increased security around the place. As far as visas are concerned, there should be no impact. I hope and pray, however, that there will be no war. May peace prevail.

Jatuke Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I would be more concerned with N. Korea and the airspace for passenger flight, than I would be with Iraq. Link to comment
Eric&Yuhui Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 I would be more concerned with N. Korea and the airspace for passenger flight, than I would be with Iraq.Don't worry about airspace...What I worry about is departure..... not the in-flight thing..Well I guess it's always in my mind flying so much, but tonight, I have more reason to worry, until she lands here 14 hrs from now Link to comment
owenkrout Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Back to the question.... GZ should not be impacted by whatever happens elsewhere. If there is intel that it is in danger, they will take appropriate action and maybe close temporarily. This has happened in other consulates in Asia that are less stable than China. I just don't see it happening at GZ.I agree. What GZ will do if their is a war with Iraq? Nothing. Oh, wait, they are really good at doing that. What I meant was it will not have any great effect on them. Link to comment
