What has happened at Mumbai
Not a pause post; affected by the worldwide suspension. As of 7 October no reschedule emails for IR1/CR1 interviews cancelled on 25 and 31 August and 4, 8, 15 and 24 September; applicants compare notes daily and nobody has one. Separately, F2B cases are sitting in administrative processing: a 4 May interview given a 221(g) for a French police certificate (submitted 7 May, passport back 14 May) is five months in with a home visit by an inquiry officer, and a case approved 12 June then re-interviewed on 15 June over DS-260 corrections has had silence since. A parent case with a public-charge notice from before the suspension is still pending.

Mumbai pause: quick answers
Is the US embassy in Mumbai calling back applicants refused under the immigrant visa pause?
Not as of the latest reports. Applicants at Mumbai report no email, no instruction and no status change since the 10 September cable. The last movement reported was on 7 Oct 2026.
What has happened at Mumbai since the pause was vacated?
Not a pause post; affected by the worldwide suspension. As of 7 October no reschedule emails for IR1/CR1 interviews cancelled on 25 and 31 August and 4, 8, 15 and 24 September; applicants compare notes daily and nobody has one. Separately, F2B cases are sitting in administrative processing: a 4 May interview given a 221(g) for a French police certificate (submitted 7 May, passport back 14 May) is five months in with a home visit by an inquiry officer, and a case approved 12 June then re-interviewed on 15 June over DS-260 corrections has had silence since. A parent case with a public-charge notice from before the suspension is still pending. The tracker holds 0 pause-refused cases and 20 cancelled appointments at Mumbai.
How do I contact Mumbai about a pause case?
What applicants at Mumbai report: No reschedules reported; AP cases told they will be contacted when review ends. 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 Mumbai
- 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.
