Accra and the immigrant visa pause
Movement has been reported here, but who is being called is disputed or unknown. Last reported movement 2026-10-29.
No contact reported. Last-updated dates stopped on 3 September; a February interviewee and a July case report nothing since. Ghanaian applicants describe the post as not answering email. Against that, a spouse applicant who transferred to Cotonou says on 14 October that Accra is re-interviewing in chronological order; one relayed line, no first-hand callback yet. 23 October: described as not moving at all. First immigrant re-interview outcome reported first-hand: an F4 family case first interviewed in February and placed in 221(g) under the pause was emailed a new appointment in early October, re-interviewed on 29 October and told the officer intends to issue; the applicant now books passport pickup. Questions: where the family will live, plans for work and education, and how the move will be paid for. Plaintiff status not stated. Reported 10 November: parents (IR5) re-interviewed on 27 October went from Refused to administrative processing, then Ready, and back to administrative processing on 6 November; no passport ready yet. Reported 11 November: a spouse interview cancelled on 1 September has had no contact about a new date. Relayed 12 November: second interviews are being approved with passports kept, but no visas returned yet.
