🚹 THE WORLDWIDE VISA PAUSE: WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN THE PHILIPPINES?

There has been a great deal of fear and misinformation online about a supposed “worldwide visa ban.” Let’s separate the facts from the rumors.

The United States has not stopped all visas, closed immigration, or canceled everyone’s case.

The U.S. Department of State temporarily paused or postponed immigrant visa interviews at embassies and consulates worldwide while consular officers receive additional training on how to determine whether an applicant may become a “public charge”—someone considered likely to become dependent on certain forms of government assistance.

For most couples, there is no reason to panic. If the petitioner’s income is solid and meets the financial requirements, there should be very little cause for concern. If the petitioner’s income is borderline, the couple may be able to qualify by using assets, a joint sponsor, or a combination of income and assets.

Does the U.S. Embassy in Manila accept joint sponsors? Yes, it does—including in K-1 fiancĂ© visa cases—and we can guide our clients through exactly how that process works.

The Philippines is affected. The U.S. Embassy in Manila canceled or postponed scheduled interviews, including interviews affecting some fiancé visa applicants, and those appointments will need to be rescheduled.

Here is what the pause does NOT mean:

✅ Your approved petition has not been canceled.

✅ Pending petitions are still being processed by USCIS.

✅ Cases may continue moving through USCIS and the National Visa Center.

✅ The Philippines has not been singled out or permanently banned.

✅ This is not a reason to abandon your case or postpone starting a new petition.

The State Department has not announced an official date when normal interview scheduling will fully resume. Even after interviews restart, Manila may experience a temporary backlog because canceled appointments must be rescheduled along with cases already waiting for interviews.

For couples beginning the process now, this temporary pause is unlikely to be the deciding factor. A new petition must still complete USCIS and National Visa Center processing before reaching the interview stage, and the current interruption may be resolved long before that happens.

The honest answer is that delays are possible, especially for applicants who were already close to their interview. But this is a temporary processing interruption—not the end of fiancĂ© or family immigration from the Philippines.

Do not let frightening headlines or social-media rumors convince you that your case is over. Follow verified information, prepare carefully, and keep moving forward.

**Important Update About the New USCIS Adjustment of Status Policy**

Many people have contacted us with concerns about the new USCIS policy regarding Adjustment of Status. We understand why this is causing confusion and fear, especially for couples who are already in the immigration process.

We want to clarify what this policy appears to mean, and just as importantly, what it does **not** appear to mean.

In plain English, this means USCIS may no longer allow many foreign nationals who entered the United States temporarily — such as on a tourist visa, student visa, work visa, or similar temporary status — to simply remain in the U.S., marry a U.S. citizen, and apply for a green card from inside the United States.

Instead, USCIS may require those applicants to leave the United States and complete the immigrant visa process through a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad.

This is a major change and may create serious risks for certain couples.

**Who may be affected?**

This policy may affect cases where the foreign national:

Entered the U.S. on a tourist visa, student visa, work visa, or other temporary status;

Married a U.S. citizen while in the United States; and

Now wants to file an I-130 petition and Adjustment of Status from inside the United States.

These cases were commonly filed for many years. However, under this new policy, they may now be considered high risk.

The concern is not only that USCIS may deny Adjustment of Status. The bigger concern is that if the foreign spouse is required to leave the United States, any overstay or unlawful presence may create additional immigration problems, including possible **bars** to returning to the United States.

**Does this affect K-1 fiancée visa holders?**

Based on our current understanding, **no, this does not appear to affect K-1 visa holders.**

A K-1 visa is specifically designed for the foreign fiancé(e) to enter the United States, marry the U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days, and then apply for Adjustment of Status.

That is the normal and intended process for a K-1 visa.

So if your fiancé(e) entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa, married the U.S. citizen petitioner, and is now applying for Adjustment of Status, this new policy does not appear to change that process.

**Does this affect normal CR-1 or IR-1 spouse visa cases filed abroad?**

No. This does **not** appear to affect normal CR-1 or IR-1 spouse visa cases where the foreign spouse is outside the United States and the case is processed through the National Visa Center and U.S. Embassy.

In a normal spouse visa case, the process is already designed to go through the U.S. Embassy. The foreign spouse receives an immigrant visa, enters the United States using that visa, and then receives the green card after entry.

That process is not the same as Adjustment of Status.

**The difference is very important**

A K-1 visa holder is supposed to adjust status after marriage.

A CR-1 or IR-1 spouse visa applicant abroad is supposed to process through the Embassy.

The cases at greatest risk are those where someone entered the United States temporarily, such as on a tourist visa, and now wants to stay in the U.S. and apply for a green card through Adjustment of Status.

**Our current position**

Because of this new policy, we will be treating tourist-visa-to-marriage Adjustment of Status cases as high-risk cases.

We are not saying every case is impossible. However, we are saying the risk has changed significantly.

If someone still wants to proceed after understanding the risks, they should understand that USCIS may refuse to allow the green card process to be completed inside the United States and may require consular processing abroad.

This could lead to long delays, separation from a spouse, and possible additional immigration consequences if there has been an overstay or unlawful presence.

**Bottom line**

If you entered on a K-1 visa and married your U.S. citizen petitioner, this policy does not appear to affect your normal Adjustment of Status process.

If you are doing a normal CR-1 or IR-1 spouse visa case through the Embassy, this policy does not appear to affect your case.

If you entered the United States on a tourist visa or other temporary visa and now want to apply for a green card from inside the U.S. after marrying a U.S. citizen, this is now a high-risk situation and should be handled very carefully.

We will continue monitoring this policy and will post updates as more information becomes available.
