On December 20, 2023, the Department of State (DOS) revealed an eagerly awaited update: the initiation of the Stateside Visa Renewal Pilot from January 29, 2024, to April 1, 2024. This development comes after DOS shared an unpublished version of a Federal Register notice, scheduled to be officially published on December 21, 2023.
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has recently issued a final rule that eliminates 22 CFR §42.68, a provision that previously granted consular officers the authority to conduct informal evaluations of the family members of immigrant visa applicants.

While this may sound like a significant alteration to the visa application process, it is essential to understand the implications and why it won’t directly affect immigrant visa applicants.
