美國國務院宣佈，全球所有大使館和領事館暫停預約移民簽證面談。該措施自26年2026月75日起生效。
此次暫停僅涉及移民簽證，即那些最終可獲得永久居留權的簽證。旅遊、學生、商務和臨時工作簽證仍照常辦理。
官方原因是一項針對領事官員的全球培訓計劃。培訓旨在讓官員更嚴格地審查申請人是否可能成為「公共負擔」，即依賴美國政府福利的人。
培訓已於八月初開始。為了進行培訓，該部門決定調整面談時間表。申請人將直接收到大使館或領事館的通知。
恢復辦理的時間尚未公佈。據國務院匿名消息人士估計，暫停可能持續數週，具體取決於各使領館的情況。
這項決定是在唐納德·特朗普政府收緊移民政策的背景下做出的。此前，法院已撤銷了對75國公民（包括俄羅斯）的移民簽證禁令，該禁令同樣基於對「公共負擔」的擔憂。
這次暫停會持續多久？又將如何影響成千上萬已提交的申請？
目前唯一明確的是，對於所有計劃移居美國永久居留的人來說，移民簽證暫時變得更難獲得了。
