What has happened at Warsaw
Relayed on 12 October from a Russian-language group: K-1 interviews have been rescheduled since the retraining, with applicants asked for the beneficiary's savings, assets, education, proof of not using benefits at home, employment history and a health insurance plan. Second interviews for non-plaintiffs continue: two IR1s first interviewed in April have new medicals and second interviews on 19 October, a Russian sibling case (F4) is invited for mid-October with 'financial statement documents', and parents refused in March are invited for 6 October. Applicants report only October slots were offered when scheduling. An EB-3 from a non-pause country interviewed 28 September was told everything looked good and still left with a 221(g).

How do I contact Warsaw about a pause case?
What applicants at Warsaw report: Scheduling emails; live agent reachable; post emails silent on pending cases. 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 Warsaw
- 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.
