All Immigrant Visa Appointments Cancelled Worldwide: The Day the H-1B Fee Fright Was Overshadowed by a Bigger Freeze
Just one day after the Trump administration proposed a new $103,265 fee on H-1B petitions, the State Department dropped an even more consequential bombshell on the global visa system. It paused every immigrant visa appointment at every U.S. embassy and consulate worldwide. The move, confirmed by Reuters on Tuesday, August 25, and reported across 28 news outlets, has left immigrant visa applicants with cancelled interviews and no confirmed date for when they will get a new one. And, these include people who had already cleared years of paperwork and were often just weeks from finally reuniting with family or starting a new life in the U.S.

Is EB-1A Easier Than a Marriage-Based Green Card?
The path to a US permanent residency could be achieved either through a merit-based pathway or marriage ties.

Many aspirants often wonder which of the two paths they should take when they have both these options available.
