Auckland 221(g) Tracker: Wait Times
Live administrative-processing picture at Auckland, from 6 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Auckland interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Auckland median yet
Only 1 tracked Auckland case has both an interview and an approval date — too few to publish a median for this post.
Across all 609 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.
What Auckland has asked for
Every document request recorded on a Auckland 221(g) so far, grouped by type and most frequent first. Document types only — never anyone’s actual documents.
- New medical exam
No tracked Auckland case has reported an email submission request.
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 2026-11-04.
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. A CR1 applicant in New Zealand cancelled for 28 August had heard nothing by 20 October (post inferred from the country). A K-1 interview cancelled at the last minute in early September has no new date on 23 October; every phone line repeats that the post will message when it wants to interview. 5 November: an IR1 whose 4 September interview was cancelled was emailed on 4 November with a new date about two weeks out, after weeks of emailing the consulate; the first rebooked interview reported here. Others cancelled for 28 August are still waiting.
