A US court ruling in early September 2026 ended the Trump administration’s pause on immigrant visas for 75 countries, including India.

The ruling lifts restrictions that had stopped immigrant visa processing for affected countries. Indian nationals and others from these 75 countries can now resume applying for immigrant visas. The visa pause was established under the Trump administration.
