Smoke and Mirrors: The Real Cost of Mandatory Visa Appointments
from Immigration Weekly with Rosanna Berardi · host Rosanna Berardi

In this episode, Rosanna unpacks why this shift is happening, who it impacts, and why it’s more about optics than real security. It’s a policy change that’s going to cause major delays, and Rosanna’s here to help you plan ahead before the system gets overwhelmed. Resources Rosanna on the Web | LinkedIn
