Matters US visas
https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20260115/embassy-kingston-awaits-further-guidance-visa-edictThe United States Embassy in Kingston is awaiting “further guidance” from Washington following the decision by the American government to suspend the processing of immigrant visas in Jamaica and 74 other nations, a high-ranking source has revealed.
The temporary pause takes effect on January 21, according to the US State Department, which announced the new directive yesterday.
The source, who is not authorised to speak publicly, said Jamaicans already issued with an immigrant visa and booked to travel should not encounter any issues.
“We are waiting for guidance now about what we do with appointments that are on the books, and also people who have already submitted their applications and are currently in processing,” the source told The Gleaner yesterday.
