đź’˘ The US has temporarily paused immigrant visa appointments worldwide, the Financial Times reports, citing the State Department. Applicants with scheduled interviews at US embassies and consulates have begun receiving notices that their appointments are being rescheduled, with no date yet given for when normal processing will resume.
The State Department said the pause is tied to a global training initiative for consular officers intended to ensure visa applicants are assessed “comprehensively and consistently,” including tougher screening of applicants considered likely to become dependent on US public benefits.
The move comes days after a federal judge struck down a separate Trump administration policy suspending immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries, ruling that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had exceeded his statutory authority.
