US Visa Cancellations Leave Fans Devastated: What's Going On

Last-minute US visa appointment cancellations are hitting both World Cup fans and touring musicians in mid-2026.

US visa wait times in India have stretched to roughly 14 months in some cities, so new applicants can't make the cut.

FIFA PASS gives verified ticket-holders faster B1/B2 interviews, but a valid visa still doesn't guarantee entry.

New social-media vetting has forced consulates in India to cancel and reschedule many H-1B and H-4 appointments.

Book directly from FIFA, apply early, keep proof of return, and never assume a stamped visa means guaranteed boarding.
