Dhaka and the immigrant visa pause
Movement has been reported here, but who is being called is disputed or unknown. Last reported movement 2026-10-06.
Who is being re-interviewed is disputed. One observer says the calls are going to cases placed in administrative processing after 2025 and 2026 first interviews, not to the remanded pause cases, and that some re-interviewed applicants were given 212(a)(4) public charge refusals with a few passports kept; a relayed group figure puts it at two or three passports kept out of fifty to sixty seen. Others say the post has not started at all and the reports are false. The 1-2 October re-medical emails to a few January cases remain the only first-hand contact. A February IR1 with an expired medical and a 221(g) solely for the pause has had nothing. First interviews cancelled for 9, 20 and 29 September have no dates.
