The US Department of State has suspended immigrant visa interviews worldwide. This move is part of a global training initiative at its embassies and consulates. The training aims to more closely examine applicants to determine who may rely on public services.

A spokesperson stated that the initiative began in early August, focusing on evaluating whether applicants will become a public charge. To accommodate this training, visa interview schedules will be adjusted.

Further details about the suspension and its impact are available from the source. The adjustment in visa interview schedules is a result of the ongoing training, which is being implemented globally.
