Paris and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-09-16.
A cancelled 25 August family-preference interview was given a new date for the week of 21 September, not expedited. Two K-1 dates, 1 and 29 September, have no replacement. A pause-refused spouse case was refused on public-charge grounds on 15 September after a short phone call.
