Guatemala City and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-02.
First non-plaintiff approval reported first-hand: an IR1 first interviewed 15 April, whose family had filed an individual lawsuit in April, was phoned on 30 September, hours after government lawyers asked for a 30-day extension, and offered a second interview on 2 October. A 35-minute interview with one officer and two observers covered assets, health history, prior public benefits, length of marriage, the petitioner's monthly income, car loans, retirement and health insurance plans; approved at the window, passport pickup 5 October, told to travel before the medical expires on 8 October. A spouse refused 26 March has still heard nothing. On 14 October applicants say nothing appears to be moving at the post, with one issuance reported since.
