🚨 **IMMIGRANT VISA INTERVIEWS PAUSED WORLDWIDE — WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR CASE?**
The State Department has announced a temporary worldwide pause affecting immigrant visa interviews while consular officers undergo additional training related to public charge determinations.
In this video, Immigration Attorney Robert M. Bell explains what this means depending on where you are in the process — including:
• Applicants waiting outside the United States for an interview
• Individuals in the U.S. with an approved waiver who may be preparing to depart for consular processing
• Applicants who were already interviewed and affected by the restrictions involving the 75 countries
• What applicants should be doing while the pause remains in effect
⚠️ **If you have an approved waiver and are currently in the United States, watch this video BEFORE making plans to leave for your immigrant visa interview.**
This situation is developing, and there is currently uncertainty regarding how long the pause will remain in place.
