Application received changed to approved and went back to Application received

[Z and N 1]

Hey guys so my fiance submitted the Ds-5535. He then received a call from the embassy to submit his passport for the visa. On the CEACStatTracker website his status changed from refused to application received then to approved and back to Application received. The top status did change from immigrant to non-immigrant. Is this normal?

Yes.  It could even flip temporarily to refused during the issuance process

Since it has changed to nonimmigrant status means the interviewing consular officer has made his/her decision and it should only be pending administrative process of assembling the file and printing the visa.

Sorry what do you mean by that? He was under DS-5535 then they called and asked him to submit his passprt. Does it mean he could possibly be denied? Or are we waiting on the visa? Or we just don't know lol

The decision on the DS160 application is what is required for visa issance.  A K1 is interviewed by the immigrant visa unit but is issued by the non immigrant visa unit.  Typically the only reason for the file to transfer from immigrant to non immigrant is for visa issance
