Tirana pause: quick answers
Is the US embassy in Tirana calling back applicants refused under the immigrant visa pause?
Not as of the latest reports. Applicants at Tirana report no email, no instruction and no status change since the 10 September cable. The last movement reported was on 2 Oct 2026.
What has happened at Tirana since the pause was vacated?
On 2 October the post sent the same generic 'processing in order' email to several spouse applicants interviewed in February, some after four inquiries and congressional contact. CEAC last-updated dates changed up to three times in September and again on 1 October for the same cases. No re-interview, medical or passport request reported.
How do I contact Tirana about a pause case?
What applicants at Tirana report: Generic email after repeated inquiries; CEAC touches. 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 Tirana
- 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.
