Guangzhou and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-11.
A Bangladeshi EB-2 NIW applicant placed in administrative processing after a May 2025 first interview, with police certificate and CV supplied in June 2025, was emailed in October for a second interview and told to bring 'evidence of financial plan in the USA', an updated police clearance and a new medical. Whether the year-long hold was the pause or a field check is not stated. Not a plaintiff.
