Kathmandu and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-09.
First first-hand non-plaintiff callback: a parent case (IR5) first interviewed 27 January, which had supplied extra documents in July, was phoned on 9 October and then emailed a re-interview with a long list: resume, education certificates, bank balance and assets, a health insurance plan and a job offer. A bulk CEAC touch moved many cases to a 6 October last-updated date; relayed EB-3 phone calls on 7 October. A 28 January spouse case still reads 5 February. Emails to the post otherwise go unanswered.
