Brussels 221(g) Tracker
Live administrative-processing picture at Brussels, from 3 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Brussels interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Brussels median yet
None of the 3 tracked Brussels 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 Brussels — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.
What Brussels has asked for
Every document request recorded on a Brussels 221(g) so far, most frequent first. Document types only — never anyone’s actual documents.
No specific document requests recorded at Brussels yet.
No tracked Brussels case has reported an email submission request. Slip colours seen here: white.
Brussels and the immigrant visa pause
Only named plaintiffs have been called back at this post so far. Last reported movement 2026-09-25.
Diversity visa plaintiffs are being re-interviewed: one given a second interview about 18 September was handed another 221(g) with the passport kept and had heard nothing a week later, while two others interviewed on 25 September were approved at the window, one told to collect by the following Monday.
Every post, side by side: immigrant visa pause status by embassy.
