Kigali 221(g) Tracker
Live administrative-processing picture at Kigali, from 3 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Kigali interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Kigali median yet
None of the 3 tracked Kigali cases have reported an outcome date yet, so there is no honest median to publish for this post.
Across all 586 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 Kigali — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.
Kigali and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-06.
First report from this post: a non-plaintiff IR1 given a public charge 221(g) at a February interview was emailed in early October with a re-interview date at short notice, which the applicant may not be able to make; the thread's view is that declining could cost months. Two other IR1s first interviewed on 17 and 24 February are still waiting.
Every post, side by side: immigrant visa pause status by embassy.
