According to multiple news outlets, a cable dated May 27 and signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed U.S. Embassies and Consulates to temporarily stop scheduling new visa interviews for F, M, and J visa applicants. As of now, the U.S. Department of State has not officially confirmed this. We are closely monitoring the situation and will share updates as they become available.

• If you already have a visa interview scheduled, it should still happen. If it is canceled, you should receive a notification from the embassy.
  • Check your email regularly, especially the one used on your DS-160.
  • Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate directly with any questions.
• If you still need to schedule a visa interview:
  • Complete and submit your DS-160 as soon as possible.
  • Try to schedule a visa interview. If no appointments are available, check the embassy’s website and social media regularly for updates.
• If you are a current student abroad and do not yet have a visa interview scheduled, there may be a delay in your return to the U.S. Please communicate with your academic department.
• We don’t yet know how this pause may affect students who are eligible for a visa interview waiver. If you’ve received drop-off instructions, follow them as provided.
• Even before this news, all visa applicants were required to share social media information on the DS-160 form. We recommend you:
  • Be thoughtful about your social media presence and digital footprint.
  • If you are concerned, consider speaking with an immigration attorney before applying for a visa or traveling.
