Beirut 221(g) Tracker
Live administrative-processing picture at Beirut, from 5 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Beirut interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Beirut median yet
Only 1 tracked Beirut case has both an interview and an approval date — too few to publish a median for this post.
Across all 558 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 Beirut — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.
What Beirut has asked for
Every document request recorded on a Beirut 221(g) so far, most frequent first. Document types only — never anyone’s actual documents.
- additional documents (unspecified)
- DS-5535
- new medical exam
- passport
No tracked Beirut case has reported an email submission request.
Beirut and the immigrant visa pause
No callbacks of any kind have been reported at this post since the cable.
Not a pause post. A spouse case interviewed September 2025 has been in administrative processing for a year. Visitor-visa interviews are being held, with the 10,000 dollar visa bond raised at the window for a Bangladeshi applicant.
Every post, side by side: immigrant visa pause status by embassy.
