What has happened at Casablanca
First dated non-plaintiff instruction: an IR1 first interviewed 20 January (documentarily qualified July 2025) was phoned on 8 October for a second interview on 20 October, told to bring everything from before and anything else that helps on public charge, with no list; medical rebooked for 14 October at the full $400. A February IR1 is still waiting. Against that, a non-plaintiff refused 9 January collected his passport on 5 October with no visa and was told by phone on 6 October that immigrant visas are still paused. Relayed: others re-interviewed the week of 5 October, one approved.

What has happened at Casablanca since the pause was vacated?
First dated non-plaintiff instruction: an IR1 first interviewed 20 January (documentarily qualified July 2025) was phoned on 8 October for a second interview on 20 October, told to bring everything from before and anything else that helps on public charge, with no list; medical rebooked for 14 October at the full $400. A February IR1 is still waiting.

How do I contact Casablanca about a pause case?
What applicants at Casablanca report: Phone calls with dates; vague document guidance; medicals redone at full price. Across posts, emails usually return nothing or a copy of the cable, and a congressional inquiry has so far returned one line. A moving CEAC last-updated date after you write means someone opened the file; it is not a decision and has not preceded one in any case we hold.
If you are waiting on Casablanca
- Expect a new medical to be the first request if yours is older than six months; ask your panel clinic whether it already has instructions before you book.
- Every approval since the cable went through a second interview about money: taxes, savings, debts, insurance, employment plans and benefits history. The list is in the re-interview guide.
- A changed CEAC date after you email the post means the file was opened, not decided.
- If your report would change this page, add your case. Rows are built from reports; a post with none cannot be shown as moving.
