Montevideo pause: quick answers
Is the US embassy in Montevideo calling back applicants refused under the immigrant visa pause?
Not as of the latest reports. Applicants at Montevideo report no email, no instruction and no status change since the 10 September cable. Absence of reports is not proof of absence, but at posts with many applicants writing in, it is close.
What has happened at Montevideo since the pause was vacated?
Not a pause post; affected by the worldwide suspension. Added at the request of a reader on 23 October: several employment-based (EB-2 NIW) and family cases documentarily qualified in August 2026 are waiting for interview dates with none issued. No forum reports from this post yet; we will fold them in as they appear.
How do I contact Montevideo about a pause case?
What applicants at Montevideo report: No contact with the post reported yet. Across posts, emails usually return nothing or a copy of the cable, and a congressional inquiry has so far returned one line. A moving CEAC last-updated date after you write means someone opened the file; it is not a decision and has not preceded one in any case we hold.
If you are waiting on Montevideo
- Expect a new medical to be the first request if yours is older than six months; ask your panel clinic whether it already has instructions before you book.
- Every approval since the cable went through a second interview about money: taxes, savings, debts, insurance, employment plans and benefits history. The list is in the re-interview guide.
- A changed CEAC date after you email the post means the file was opened, not decided.
- If your report would change this page, add your case. Rows are built from reports; a post with none cannot be shown as moving.
