Dear Mrs Walker-Huntington

If you are aware, please provide an update about individuals whose application was successful but the interview was scheduled after the effective date of the ban in January 2026.

We remain in the indefinite immigrant visa pause in Jamaica and 74 other countries that was instituted by the United States government on January 21, 2026.  This pause applies only to Green Cards for persons who are outside the United States and are being processed by the US Department of State. A lawsuit was filed against the Secretary of State in Federal Court in New York in February, 2026, but the hearing on the merits of the suit has not been heard.
