Ciudad Juarez and the immigrant visa pause
No callbacks of any kind have been reported at this post since the cable. Last reported movement 2026-10-08.
Not a pause post, and nothing is moving: on 13 October applicants with original dates of 27 August, 14, 24 and 28 September all report no reschedule and no contact. One reschedule went wrong earlier: an IR1 cancelled for 14 August was rebooked for 8 October, the applicant attended with no cancellation email, and was told it would be rescheduled again. A 2 October interview was pulled the day before; a 21 August approval went Issued then back to Ready. Applicants describe the post as almost without movement.
