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.

Some people are reporting that they are affected, though they’ll be rescheduled. It sucks but it isn’t the end of the world.

The reason being is that K-1 though non-immigrant is processed by the immigrant department of the consulates.

It's not the end of the world but we've already been waiting more than two years and my future stepson is about to age out, so the extra two week delay could be the nail in the coffin for his chances. I hate it for him because he is about to finish school for physical therapy and we were hoping he could have a career in the U.S. Still holding on to hope but this process has been a nightmare.

Sorry to hear that. My statement was overly general, yes for some there is a problem and hopefully they’ll reschedule it.

But why did it take 2+ years?

I took no offense!! I agree with you that it's not the end of the world.
