The U.S. State Department has launched a global training initiative at all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide.

This push to tighten immigration rules follows a statement from the Trump administration that it is reviewing all B-1 business and B-2 tourist visas.

Additionally, immigrant visa applicants with scheduled interviews at U.S. embassies and consulates have received emails notifying them that their appointments are being rescheduled. These applicants were informed that they would receive future notice of a new date.
