What has happened at Chisinau
Pause post. 20 October: an F2A spouse case first interviewed 12 March was phoned the day before and re-interviewed, then refused again despite the petitioner's three years of tax returns, large savings and jointly owned property; the only health coverage evidence was a visitor-insurance quote, which commenters blame. No other re-interviews reported yet.

Chisinau pause: quick answers

Pause post. 20 October: an F2A spouse case first interviewed 12 March was phoned the day before and re-interviewed, then refused again despite the petitioner's three years of tax returns, large savings and jointly owned property; the only health coverage evidence was a visitor-insurance quote, which commenters blame. No other re-interviews reported yet.
How do I contact Chisinau about a pause case?
What applicants at Chisinau report: Phone call the day before the second interview. 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 Chisinau
- 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.
