Immigrant Visa Pause: What You Need to Know

​On August 25, the State Department paused immigrant visa interviews at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide, as consular officers undergo new training on public charge screening.

​In this session, we'll unpack what's behind the pause and what it actually means for individuals and employers:

• ​What the pause covers and what it doesn't - immigrant visa interviews abroad are affected; nonimmigrant categories like H-1B, F-1, and J-1 are not, and adjustment of status inside the U.S. is not directly reached

• ​Who is affected - candidates with immigrant visa interviews already scheduled or pending abroad, including family- and employment-based cases

• ​What we know now, what remains uncertain, and the practical steps you can take - including how the pause connects to the August 21 court ruling that struck down the earlier 75-country suspension, and how to plan around delayed start dates and travel

​You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your options, the common mistakes to avoid, and the next steps to consider.
