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 2026-11-05.

Medical-and-passport requests without a re-interview: on 15 October a non-plaintiff F2A and a non-plaintiff IR2 were emailed to redo the medical and send the passport, one told to register for the courier, with no re-interview mentioned; an observer counts several IR2 cases moving the same day. A 20 January first interview with an expired medical and a March IR2 have had nothing. CEAC touches without contact for the early cohort: an IR1 interviewed 10 March, untouched until an email in September, was touched 14 September and 1, 2, 7 and 8 October with no call; a 2 February IR-1 touched 23 September and 6 October; a second-week-of-February applicant has had no call, email or questionnaire. The twenty-question public charge questionnaire reached a March case around 4 October; second interviews by phone appointment continue for the June cohort. K-1s report silence: one approved on CEAC since 21 August has heard nothing; another's medical expires in two weeks (23 October). 3 November, second-hand: an IR5 parent re-interviewed on 15 October stayed Refused until 26 October, went to Administrative Processing on 29 October and was then Issued. 6 November: re-interview dates of 19 November (IR2 first interviewed 10 February) and 20 November (IR1 first interviewed 27 March); applicants say the post emailed several people this week, asked others to renew medicals and send passports, and is working through end-of-March and early-April first interviews. Relayed: about six re-interviewed applicants had visas within days. Reported 6 November: an immigrant visa applicant first interviewed in May, held on a proof-of-domicile 221(g), received a new 221(g) form accepting the evidence and asking for a new medical and the passport, with no second interview mentioned. Reported 8 November (shared by the family): a parent of a US citizen, cleared of a 10-year bar in July, was interviewed on 29 October and asked who would pay medical costs for a chronic condition; a private health policy was bought and sent on 30 October and the visa was Issued on 2 November. Reported 9 November by a relative: a parent (IR5) first interviewed in January heard nothing until the family emailed the post; a document request followed about two weeks later, then a phone call with an interview date and no email. Approved after a long interview on 5 November and printed the same day; the family had sent a written relocation and self-sufficiency plan with a health insurance quote.
