My wife did not initially pass her visa interview, pending the submission of a police report from Malaysia where she worked several years ago. When it first arrived, being several hundred miles away from the Malaysian Embassy, we called and asked the U.S. Embassy if we could have an electronic copy of the report sent to us, and just print that out, and mail that in with her passport for the Embassy. We were assured by the Embassy that we could.   We did so and 2+ weeks later we heard back from the Embassy saying we had to submit the original copy  of the police report, so once again rushed to doo so.  We have been waiting several weeks to hear something.  We finally called the U.S. Embassy on Manila and got the process expedited.  We just saw that the status on the CEAC website for our application has been changed for the first time in weeks...it is has now changed from "Administrative processing" to  "Ready". 

 

We just saw the change in status and it is now Friday evening, meaning we can't call the Embassy about this till Monday. Does that simply mean all the information is in place, or does it mean the Visa is ready to be issued?

It was just changed to "issued" today.  The embassy here in Manila is good at answering their phone..give them a call if you have any questions.

Congrats on reaching ISSUED status.    Few more days and the visa package will be with 2GO!!  :dance:  

 

Did your wife complete CFO already?      If yes, then she only needs to swing by CFO with her certificate to get the sticker in her passport before flying
