Tbilisi 221(g) Tracker
Live administrative-processing picture at Tbilisi, from 9 community-reported cases — medians, backlog aging and the latest movement, updated as reports arrive.
Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Tbilisi interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Tbilisi median yet
Only 1 tracked Tbilisi case has both an interview and an approval date — too few to publish a median for this post.
Across all 562 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 Tbilisi — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.

Tbilisi and the immigrant visa pause
At least one applicant who is not a plaintiff has received a case-specific instruction here. Last reported movement 2026-10-01.
Diversity visa applicants whose CEAC read Issued after a second interview, and who were told the visa was printed, were messaged on 1 October to collect passports 'without visas' and await a decision; one non-plaintiff's passport came back empty with CEAC still showing Issued, and others report the same. A non-plaintiff parent case was emailed a second interview with a request for her own financial information. Spouse cases get a template: reviewed in the order refused.
Every post, side by side: immigrant visa pause status by embassy.
