Kuala Lumpur and the immigrant visa pause
Movement has been reported here, but who is being called is disputed or unknown. Last reported movement 2026-10-27.
A paused-country national's case had CEAC touches three times in September and on 1 October, then on 2 October received the same generic 'processing in order' email that Tirana and other posts sent that day. A Bangladeshi-passport spouse case interviewed in June has had no re-interview as of 6 October, and none is reported at this post. Malaysian passport holders are not subject to the pause. An expedited IR2 cancelled for 1 September has had no email as of 17 October. 27 October: first second-interview outcome reported here. An F2A spouse (Pakistani national) first interviewed 21 April, emailed 2 October, re-interviewed 27 October after uploading updated financial evidence, sponsor affidavits and a health insurance quote, was told the visa is approved and only a new medical is needed. Plaintiff status not stated.
