Berlin 221(g) Tracker
Live administrative-processing picture at Berlin, from 11 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Berlin interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Berlin median yet
None of the 11 tracked Berlin cases have reported an outcome date yet, so there is no honest median to publish for this post.
Across all 554 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 Berlin — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.
