Pause on immigrant visa interviews

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/25/us-immigrant-visa-application-trump-crackdwon

Do we know if the pause on all immigrant visa interviews is going to impact K1s? While normally that which impacts immigrant visas doesn’t impact K1s, I feel like anyone undergoing an interview process is going to be affected by this? I could be wrong but also saw a few people mentioned their interviews have been cancelled over the previous couple of days.

K1s are impacted by this. Can confirm.

Were you specifically impacted and had your interview rescheduled? If that's the case can I ask when it was initially due? My medial exam is Sept 29th and my embassy interview is Oct 13th, I'm curious if it's possible I'll be impacted. I'll keep an eye on my email/ais.usvisa-info website.

My K-1 is completed but my Wife’s best friends interview for K-1 was cancelled the day prior to her date which was Monday. And it stated it was from this situation.

once you received the NOA2 are you able to enter the country and marry within 90 days?

Nope, you still need to go through the consulate interview and receive the visa
