Bucharest 221(g) Tracker
Live administrative-processing picture at Bucharest, from 3 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Bucharest interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Bucharest median yet
Only 1 tracked Bucharest case has both an interview and an approval date — too few to publish a median for this post.
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 Bucharest — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.
Bucharest and the immigrant visa pause
Movement has been reported here, but who is being called is disputed or unknown. Last reported movement 2026-09-29.
A diversity visa interview cancelled for 26 August was rebooked by email for 29 September with a public-charge document list; at the window, after ninety minutes, the applicant was told a directive from Washington meant the interview could not take place. Not a plaintiff. One day before the statutory deadline.
Full picture for this post, with its pause cases, cancellations and every digest mention: Bucharest immigrant visa pause status. Every post side by side: status by embassy.
