Tokyo 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.

A diversity visa interview cancelled on 10 September was reissued for the 17th and cancelled again the next day. A Brazilian spouse case interviewed 21 July has had no reply to a status inquiry or a senator's inquiry. K-1 interviews from 3 September remain unscheduled.
