Naples and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-22.
Reschedules reached the August cancellations on 14 October: an IR-1 cancelled for 26 August was given 28 October, along with others the applicant knows, and the email asks for new CEAC uploads on financials, assets, bank statements, health insurance, job offers or possible employment and proof of residence, plus proof of English proficiency and professional qualifications if available. Not a pause post, but relayed from a social media post: a Thai national living in Italy, first interviewed 5 May under the pause, was emailed to redo the medical and given a second interview on 9 October. A Pakistani spouse interviewed in July has had no CEAC change or contact. Military-spouse cases are expedited (the 23 September IR1 went Issued 6 October). Everyone else, including 25 and 26 August and 16 September cancellations, has nothing after six weeks, and emails go unanswered. 20 October: an IR-1 was notified of a second interview for the following week with a list of documents the post may consider: bank statements, financial information, educational qualifications, employment applications, health insurance, housing arrangements and sponsor financials. A pause-affected spouse case received a second interview date in the week of 19 October (date not given); another applicant's attorney recommends bringing a fresh I-864. Not a pause post: reschedules of the September cancellations went out on 22 October. An IR1 set for 9 September got 12 January 2027; an IR1 set for 2 September got 18 November; an IR5 set for 2 September got 17 November; another got 20 January. The new appointment appeared in the scheduling site before the confirmation email. One applicant approved 6 October had the passport back with the visa on 12 October.
