About VisaMoves

VisaMoves is a free website that tracks U.S. visa cases placed in 221(g) administrative processing, built from anonymised reports that applicants share publicly. Its main view summarises those cases by consulate and visa type: how many are pending, resolved or refused, median days from interview to approval, and how long pending cases have been waiting, with still-open cases counted alongside finished ones. Other pages decode CEAC status changes (Refused, Administrative Processing, Approved, Issued) with measured transition times, log cancelled and rescheduled interviews, follow the immigrant visa pause by embassy, and collect interview questions and a playbook drawn from approved cases. A My case page compares your wait with others at the same consulate and gives you a link to re-check later. The site says it updates daily and needs no account or personal identifiers; its data is published under a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence. It suits people holding a 221(g) slip who want to know whether their wait is typical for their post. The trade-offs: every number comes from self-reported cases rather than the State Department, small posts have few data points and many reports don't state a consulate, it centres on the consular stage rather than USCIS petitions, it is web only with no per-case alerts, and it doesn't check your official status for you.

Best for: People with a 221(g) slip who want to see whether their wait is typical for their consulate.
