What has happened at Yerevan
CEAC touches without contact: a non-plaintiff IR1 interviewed 8 May had last-updated change to 6 October with no email. A spouse case with a 17 March interview has had silence since a 25 September touch, an expired medical and no instruction to renew it; an August email went unanswered. The only dated instruction remains a 22 September second-interview email to a suit registrant, plus a relayed report of a plaintiff asked for 2025 tax returns and a new medical.

A spouse case with a 17 March interview has had silence since a 25 September touch, an expired medical and no instruction to renew it; an August email went unanswered.

How do I contact Yerevan about a pause case?
What applicants at Yerevan report: Replies after four weeks, if at all; CEAC touches; dated instructions only to suit registrants. 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 Yerevan
- 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.
