75-COUNTRY VISA PAUSE · FREE CASE REVIEW
The Visa Pause Was Lifted.
Still Waiting?
The 75-country immigrant visa suspension has ended, but your case may still be stuck. If you have completed your interview, remain in administrative processing, or are still waiting for an appointment, MC Law Firm can assess whether a Mandamus or APA lawsuit may help move your case forward.
For family- and employment-based immigrant visa applicants affected by the 75-country suspension.
The Pause Ended. Your Wait May Not Have.
On August 21, 2026, a federal court set aside the 75-country suspension and visa refusals based solely on that policy. Those applications were returned for further proceedings. This did not automatically issue visas, but it changed the legal basis for keeping affected cases on hold.
Can a Lawsuit Help Your Case Move Forward?
When the government has not taken a legally required step, an APA or Mandamus lawsuit may be an option. Our attorneys review what remains pending, why the case is delayed, and whether a federal court can require further action.
A separate travel ban may still affect your case. The ruling on the 75-country suspension did not remove the separate 39-country entry restrictions. Security checks, missing documents, or another refusal reason may also require a different legal approach.
Is Your Case Still Stuck?
These situations may warrant a closer legal review. The reason for the delay matters as much as how long you have been waiting.
No Progress After Your Interview
Your petition was approved, your DS-260 was submitted, and you attended your interview. The consulate refused your visa because of the 75-country pause, but you have received no meaningful update since the ruling.
Still Waiting for an Appointment
The NVC accepted your documents, but your interview was delayed or cancelled during the suspension and has not been scheduled. We review whether the continuing delay is tied to the former policy. An ordinary appointment backlog alone may not support a lawsuit.
Your Case Still Shows “Refused”
A 221(g) refusal may involve the former pause, administrative processing, or missing documents. We review the consulate’s actual explanation to understand whether further action is required and what legal options may be available.
