October 2 cancellations follow security concerns. Applicants should review the notice they received before travelling.
US visa interviews in Brazil scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2026, were cancelled at the US Embassy and consulates, according to R7. The report says applicants who received the cancellation notice were instructed not to attend their appointment that day. Source: R7.
Why were services suspended?
Exame reports that the US Mission announced the interruption in an October 1 statement citing security concerns. The report reviewed provides neither details of the risk nor a reopening date. The measure concerns consular services in Brasília and at consulates across Brazil. Source: Exame.
What to check about US visa interviews in Brazil
Before leaving home, check the email address used for your booking and your application account. Read the full message, including the location, date and instructions specific to your appointment.
- Keep the cancellation notice and your original booking confirmation.
- Check whether the message provides instructions for a new appointment.
- If your situation remains unclear, contact the service through its official channel.
- Do not assume instructions for an interview automatically apply to every other procedure.
Applicants travelling from the Greater ABC area to São Paulo should complete these checks before setting off. This can help avoid unnecessary travel and expenses.
An appointment cancellation is not an application decision
A cancelled appointment does not, by itself, reveal the outcome of a visa application. It also does not establish that previously issued visas have become invalid.
The reports cited do not establish that the incident is a new sanction against Brazil. Security is the stated reason; any further explanation requires confirmation.
