There aren’t dozens of specific things they have in the status list. So “Ready” is like being in neutral. After the 221(g), going to ready means the refused part has been cleared. So you sit in neutral and wait for the next bit. Almost everybody goes to AP before Issued. It can mean paper shuffling preparing for the next step or a deeper security review if you were born in or have ties to a country associated with terrorism. Or it can mean you have special scientific or technical skills that need further checking out. AP can last 2 hours, 2days, 2 months….
It could be so fast you missed it before it changed to Issued. Everybody will be different so it’s a wait and see thing.
You’re not going to benefit from checking every five minutes. Your challenge for the day is see if you can go 24 hours between checks. 😝 Is there anything else you can spend time on? Pack, fill out the P85, figure out how you can move money over, visit friends and family….
