Hello all - Had my interview Wed April 7th - given a green 221g slip. Sent required information - have noticed that my status is now saying ready, after showing refused from Wednesday. They kept my passport. Is the fact that they kept my passport and now tell me "READY" a good sign ???

Thank you in advance and well done all of you that have got great news recently and good luck to all that have interviews coming up....

It would mean that you are back to processing rather than being paused while they awaited needed information.

Sounds like you're close to the getting the visa hopefully. Fingers crossed. I was approved at interview last Thursday 8th and status changed to 'Ready' here - https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx  - on same day which is where you're at now I guess. On Monday morning, it changed to 'Administrative Processing' and then a few hours later to the final stage which was 'Issued'. I had an email from the courier the same evening saying the passport would arrive today. And so it did - arrived via courier in Edinburgh this afternoon. Actually the postman just dumped it in my letterbox without any verification! I jumped on here and paid the $220 USCIS Immigrant Fee - https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee - booked and attended my COVID-19 PCR test this evening, booked an airport hotel, flight, hire car, filled out the UK travel declaration here - https://travel-declaration.dft.gov.uk - and heading down to Heathrow to fly back to the missus in MIA on Friday. It's nice to know this part of the process is speeding up for everyone to follow. Long may it continue...

We were thinking the exact same thing. 

[Southernboy123 21]

Looks like a rearranged date will be unfortunately needed 😤

Got mine too! DQ January 4th, Appointment May 5th!

 

Just booked my medical exam too they seemed to have good availability but would recommend calling sooner rather than later.

Why do you say that?

[Southernboy123 21]

Too little time for me personally to get a medical done unfortunately 😑

It’s cool time isn’t our our enemy to be fair, we both live here in the U.K. together so we’re not apart. We will just reschedule an appt more suitable maybe June hopefully. However it is good to have the control back in the process!

Congrats everyone! 
 

Do you have to wait till you’re invited for interview to book your medical? We DQ’d Feb 17th so hopefully be in the next batch ☺️ Xx
