Bogota and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-09-26.
Now assigning dates as well as inviting self-booking, all to non-plaintiffs: an EB-2 verbally approved on 20 April was emailed 25 September at 16:30 for a second interview on 29 September (one business day's notice, medical expiring 6 October); a mother interviewed in March was set for 30 September alongside her husband's first interview; a CR1/CR2 family was set for 1 October and told to bring passports for the whole family group, updated financial documents and every original, with only the principal attending. The 23 September self-booking emails (EB-3, F2A, IR5 cases from January and February) continue, with the 28 January EB-3 family booked 13 October and asked for financial documents for every applicant.
Every post, side by side: immigrant visa pause status by embassy.
