Bogota and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-13.
First employment-based second interview reported, around 13 October: a non-plaintiff EB-3 (other workers) family first interviewed 28 January was told the case is approvable but that no visa numbers are available in the category, so it waits for numbers with passports left at the post. The officer checked English first, asked about the job offer, the spouse's work plans, salary and childcare, looked at the health insurance research (credit-card travel cover and a US quote satisfied him) and asked about savings and assets without documents. A March EB-3 and a 27 January child case are still waiting to be scheduled; applicants say scheduling is not chronological. Fastest post in the dataset: on 6 October two non-plaintiff spouse cases first interviewed in late April and 11 May were approved at second interviews, one with the visa collected the same afternoon. Relayed on 10 October: an IR1 interviewed around 18-19 August was contacted only to send her passport, with no second interview, because the first interview had already covered savings, assets, debts and insurance; the first passport-only request reported anywhere. A third 6 October case was sent for a joint sponsor over a negative adjusted gross income. The 23 September email cohort (January and February first interviews) is stuck behind a scheduling portal that will not open a calendar.
