Mumbai and the immigrant visa pause
No callbacks of any kind have been reported at this post since the cable. Last reported movement 2026-09-15.
Not a pause post; affected by the worldwide suspension. Applicants turned away at the door on 31 August, 3 September and 15 September with no email. A non-pause spouse case interviewed 21 August was issued on 9 September after three days of Ready/Refused flapping.
