Kingston and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-08.
CEAC touches without contact for the early cohort: an IR1 interviewed 10 March, untouched until an email in September, was touched 14 September and 1, 2, 7 and 8 October with no call; a 2 February IR-1 touched 23 September and 6 October; a second-week-of-February applicant has had no call, email or questionnaire. The twenty-question public charge questionnaire reached a March case around 4 October; second interviews by phone appointment continue for the June cohort.
