What has happened at Tashkent
The plaintiff re-interviewed in late September at one day's notice is, two weeks later, still in 221(g) for an expired medical while the embassy has told the panel clinic he does not need a medical at this time (relayed by a friend). The EB-1 plaintiff re-interviewed 23 September got a new 221(g) with a medical referral to follow. An IR1 refused under the pause reports nothing.

How do I contact Tashkent about a pause case?
What applicants at Tashkent report: Re-interviews for plaintiffs; medicals not being referred. 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 Tashkent
- 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.
