I was informed via e-mail at 10:51 that my passport was ready to ship. The SAME 10:51 time there was e-mail from Purolator with tracking #. I rushed to CEAC to see what was in there - ISSUED. All works like clock movement!
It means somebody was working on your case on that date. keep checking the CEAC. There will be no notification, just CEAC: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ Best wishes!!!!
Got DQed on 10.25.22, interview letter on 01.30.23, appointment on march 09. Kinda short window between IL and appointment, medical didn't come in time. Three months of waiting.
WE got approved today, March 23 from Potomac. Didn't check the status for four days 'cause it had been actively reviewed since August 19th 2021, kinda lost any hope. But here it is, boom! don't even know if the date changed before approval.
