They have covered DQs till 23 Feb 2021 so they'll cover March next month Inn-Sha-Allah...
Unsure whether they covered all of 23 Feb or not though. More in August now.

Sorry I mistyped I meant 14 but since you've seen posts till Jan 16 then that would be the latest DQ yet. What was the interview date for the person with 16 Jan 2021 DQ?

So far they have issued ILs for people with DQ of 24 Jan 2021. Unsure if they've covered all of Jan 24 or partially. The interview dates covered are till May 19 which still leaves a few days open and maybe more applicants receive their ILs to cover those dates soon

The email is your IL and you’ll have to take a print out of it with you to medical and embassy

For the AOS documents, printout or photocopy is fine. Also, if you have uploaded those documents on the CEAC portal, they might not ask for them but good to have just in case.
For applicants documents, they should have both original and a copy of all documents as well as whatever you’re submitting as proof of relationship and passport photos taken in the last 6 months.

They don’t give any particular reason for sending case to AP. It’s pre decided and marked as AP even before interview. The only reason I can think of is that he traveled to Dubai in 2013.
He doesn’t have a common name so it’s not that. Basically it can be anything.

I’ll update here when my husband gets his visa.
Hopefully your wife doesn’t go in AP.

Hello
After receiving IL make sure to book the appointment ASAP. For booking you can call them or book online at their website. They will demand following documents for appointment.
1. copy Interview Letter email
2. Original Passport.
3. Polio certificate .( from govt. inst. and no older then 6 months)
4. Covid Vac. record.
5. Address ( Pak + USA).
6. Operation's report (if any).
7 Medicine prescription (if any).
After providing them all the basic details they will give you the appointment date. You will also receive a confirmation email. If not ring them again and let them know that u didn't receive the confirmation email.
Tips: make sure u have a gap of at least 2 days between ur medical and interview . As wilcare nowadays send the reports directly to the embassy and it takes 2 days to arrive. (NOTE: they will also email you the results. in my case they told me take print of the blood test report with me at airport . also if you are unable to get appointment with 2 days gap don't worry the embassy will get your medical even after your interview or in some cases you can have ur medical after the interview if appointment is not available. it will just add some more days).
On the appointment day try to arrive about 30 minutes before and make sure to bring cash or card for the medical. Normally they do tell you the amount during your appointment call. but i have seen some cases where the person have to pay more because of their medical history as doctor asked for further tests. ( for me it was 29K but one of my friend was charged 150k because of some extra tests and vaccines. so its good to have some extra cash in hand)
I have also immunization record but they did not checked ( According to a guy working and as per CDC guidelines they inject you with age appropriate vaccine no matter if you have the record or not). But its still good to have your record with you.
At wilcare the front desk will guide you to a counter where they will take your picture and signatures and will ask you to deposit the amount.
after paying the fee you will have to go for the medical exam where they will check your eye sight, take blood sample, chest x ray(for t.b) and physical examination. after physical the doctor will ask you about your medical history and if its all good they will inject you with the age appropriate vaccines after that you are free to go.

Not anytime soon because due to the lengthy time frame lots of people are trying to get their citizenship and upgrade their cases from F to IR1. For all upgraded cases with an earlier DQ date then let's say 15 Dec 2020, interviews will be scheduled before the rest of the interviews get scheduled. They are scheduling lots of interviews but some DQ months just have more applicants than others so it would be a while. They have slowed down the rate at which they're giving a DQ date to applicants from what I've heard but not sure about that one.

Approximately 15 months from DQ date. Might be more or less depending on ISL embassy and how many more people with earlier DQs get upgraded or expedited interviews.
Still no news of any ILs being issued. Most likely they’ll issue a few this week if not all of them.

They have sent out a few ILs and covered like 3 days of interviews i.e. till 3rd March 2022 and DQ is 30 nov 2020… They might issue more soon because almost the whole month is left

People with expedite can get it quicker but it's very difficult to get expedite approved.
They will ask your wife why you didn't visit her after your marriage so prepare answer for that. I'm not entirely sure but you could submit a written explanation as to why you didn't visit under additional documents in CEAC. You can even explain that you intend to visit once your wife's visa is issued. There are plenty of people who couldn't visit because of work and covid. If possible, do try to visit otherwise just follow the above mentioned steps.
You can't replace the pictures themselves but you will upload everything under additional documents. Best time to submit would be after you have received your wife's IL.
Yes. CEAC is the site where the DS-260 and the AOS documents were submitted.
P.S. I am attaching a response someone gave to a post with a similar situation as you.
t shouldn’t cause an issue as long as you can explain why you weren’t able to visit. The interviewers there are all from the US so I’m sure they’re aware of the extremely short amount of vacation time we get
