----In English
The US consulates in Islamabad and Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar have canceled all visa appointments for March 2, 2026 due to an emergency security alert. This decision was made because there are violent protests happening across the country and there is a security issue.
If you also had an appointment today, then this article is for you. Here we will explain why the appointments were canceled and when you might get a new date.
Why are appointments cancelled? (This is the real reason)
US Mission Pakistan has said that due to the protests happening outside the US Consulates in Karachi and Lahore, they had to make this tough decision.
Talking about Karachi, in the protest outside the consulate, 9 people lost their lives and many others were injured. It feels bad to hear, but this is the truth.
Tension in the region has also increased. People are protesting because these are the reactions to the attacks on Iran last week.
Now the US Embassy has put the safety of its staff and visitors first. That’s why they have suspended all routine services — whether Immigrant or Non-Immigrant Visas — for the time being.
Which services are suspended?
Now not just visas, but several other important services have also been suspended:
Non-Immigrant Visas: B1/B2, F1, H-1B and all such interviews are currently not being conducted.
Immigrant Visas: Interviews for family and work-based permanent visas are also suspended.
American Citizen Services: Appointments for passport renewal and birth reports are also currently unavailable.
However, if an American citizen is in an emergency, emergency services may still be available for them on a case-by-case basis.
What Will Happen Next? (Important Information for Applicants)
If your appointment has been cancelled, don’t worry. The most searched question on Google is “How to reschedule,” so listen:
Don’t worry about rescheduling. As soon as the situation improves, the US Embassy will itself assign new dates to all applicants. There is absolutely no need to call or send emails repeatedly.
The visa fee (MRV Fee) that you paid is valid for one year. This means your money will not go to waste.
Keep checking your email—the one you provided on the DS-160 form, you will receive your new schedule there.
City-wise status is below (2 March, 2026)
Important Instructions for US Visa Applicants
Do not go to the embassy. Until a new schedule is announced, there is no benefit in gathering outside the consulate. It is best that you regularly check the official website of the US Embassy pk.usembassy.gov and their X (Twitter) account.
If your flight is near, consider rescheduling it, because interviews may take a few more days.
Conclusion
The cancellation of US Visa appointments is only for safety reasons and is temporary. It is hoped that everything will be fine in the next 48 to 72 hours and work will resume. For new updates, keep following our blog.
