Across all 588 resolved cases we track, at every post, the median is 3 days from interview to approval. Treat that as background, not as a prediction for Auckland — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.

Auckland and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-09-14.
A DV-2026 selectee whose 4 September interview was cancelled has no new date as of 5 October despite the court order allowing post-fiscal-year processing. Earlier, a third-country applicant interviewed in February was emailed on 14 September to submit a new medical, the first case-specific instruction after the cable.
