My husband had his IR1 immigrant visa interview at the US Embassy in Algeria on July 17, 2019 and they told him Congratulations your visa is approved.  The next day I checked the Visa status on the Ceac.state.gov website and the status changed from Ready to Administrative Processing. Today I logged on to the same site and it said this. 

 

Summary Information

 

One or more Immigrant Visa (IV) Application(s) (form DS-260) on your case have been reopened because updates are required. Please update the DS-260(s) as directed and re-submit the form(s). If you have any questions, please contact your local U.S. Embassy or Consulate General. Information for U.S. Embassies and Consulates can be found at https://www.usembassy.gov/.

 

And the DS-260 is Re Opened but we don't know exactly what on the DS-260 that needs to be updated. the embassy didn't send us an email with directions on what to update. Has anyone ever heard of this?
