La Embajada de EE.UU. en Madrid introdujo un proceso simplificado de solicitud de visado electrónico en noviembre de 2023.
El objetivo principal es agilizar y acelerar el período de procesamiento a 90 días hábiles o menos. Los solicitantes tienen ahora tres opciones:
- Opción 1 para cónyuges o hijos de titulares actuales de un visado electrónico;
- Opción 2 para empleados que se incorporen a empresas estadounidenses establecidas con un historial de aprobaciones de visados E, y;
- Opción 3 para empresas que se incorporan por primera vez y renovaciones selectas.
Las cuestiones de confidencialidad se abordan permitiendo el uso de sobres cerrados para los documentos confidenciales. El proceso renovado refleja el compromiso con una experiencia de solicitud más eficaz y transparente.

In 1948, the world came together to declare that certain rights are inherent to every human being, regardless of nationality. Chief among these is the right to safety.
The Universal Right to Seek Safety
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), specifically Article 14, guarantees that "everyone has the right to
On January 14, 2026, the Trump administration announced a freeze on immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries . The administration states that this “visa freeze” is intended to review security protocols, “reduce risks,” and control immigration flows. However, the immediate reality is that this change in policy has temporarily suspended visa processing and restricted travel for applicants from numerous countries across the globe. While the legal landscape surrounding these suspensions is highly fluid and subject to change, it is important to consider how this “visa freeze” might impact your current status or immigration plans. The scope of the restrictions varies drastically depending on your country of origin and specific visa category. Most notably, a nationality-based travel ban restricts visa issuance for 19 countries : Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Beyond this targeted ban, a broader freeze affects applicants from a designated list of up to 75 countries, leading to indefinite delays for many visa petitions. However, it is important to note that immigrant visa applications first need to be processed through USCIS, which has not paused processing applications from the 75 countries. Thus, it is important to contact an attorney to understand at what point in the process this visa freeze may affect your case. While Brazil is included in the list of 75 countries, at the time of this publication, the freeze does not include non-immigrant visas for Brazil . Non-immigrant visas are granted to foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States on a temporary basis for specific purposes, such as tourism, studying, or temporary work. This means that Brazilian applicants can still safely pursue non-immigrant employment options, such as O visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or P visas for internationally recognized athletes, without being subjected to the current travel bans or suspensions.
