Kingston and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-09-25.
First post to skip the second interview: on 25 September a non-plaintiff spouse case interviewed 8 July (medical still valid) had a CEAC update and was emailed a twenty-question public charge questionnaire to complete and upload to CEAC, with no re-interview. The questions cover age, marriage date, destination, work plans, education, health conditions and insurer, the petitioner's dependents, salaries after tax, real estate, assets, debts, past and present public benefits, and any joint sponsor. A pause-refused case was issued on 11 September after a second interview. A May interview reports nothing.
Every post, side by side: immigrant visa pause status by embassy.
