1. They told her she was approved.
2. They kept her passport
3. They didn't issue a 221(g) Request for Evidence (RFE) at the interview
4. Ceac has moved to AP
5. These are all signs that I outline in my PDF on the first page first post of this thread.
That's what I think. Now please join me in a little
Called NVC and Case# was given today... The US Embassy Manila has had over 10 months now to figure out a way to safely conduct K1 interviews in the era of Covid. I can only imagine the floodgates opening when they finally do resume routine K1 interviews.. People stalking the appointment scheduler website like vultures. lol
Don't do anything in advance until the case is ready at your embassy and the embassy sends you an email to the petitioner to follow these steps for scheduling your interview, Medical exam, police clearance etc. Usually takes about 2 months to receive. If you schedule before being contacted by the embassy there is a particularly good chance you will be removed from the schedule. So, sit tight till you hear from them. In the meantime, time review the P3, link is below, and gather your documents and any police certificates that may be required of you.

If you find anything not up to date or the information is wrong, please share your findings. Please compare the date of the P3 of mine with the date from your copy once you receive yours from your embassy. Keep in mind that I try and be factual with my information, but I can't do it on my own and that's where you come in and can give back to the community those who come behind you. Without others ahead of you I would not be able to provide this to you. I can only share factual information if folks like you continue to be my eyes and ears for your embassy. I wish you much success in your visa journey.
