Visas: Visa Bond Pilot Program; Correction

The Department of State is correcting a temporary final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on August 5, 2025. The document erroneously provided that one of the amendatory instructions would sunset on August 5, 2026. This document corrects that error and also corrects the designation of paragraphs in the rule.

What this means

  • This rule has been in effect since 2025-08-20. (effectiveAt)

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Who is affected

The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.

Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Aug 2, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
