Thanks Hura.

Now I see on the ceac website that it is saying ready again, previously said AP (changed today). Should I contact the Embassy to see what is the next step i.e. interview again/send in our passports.

You don't have to do anything. Just sit tight and wait.

Did they keep your passport? Or did you mail it in with the 221g?

Got email this morning saying visas approved. Dropped our passports to DHL. Thank God.

Thank you all for answering all of my questions, as it seems in my country FB-1 visas are rare.

Hoping I can help someone in the future.

NVC processing is really strange. Me and my brother have submitted the documents at the same time, and both of us have the same scan date. Yet his case was completed at NVC last week, and I'm still waiting for mine! The processing it took for him about 30 days (after a checklist). I guess the person reviewing my case was on extended coffee break

No, you can request exemption from the automatic conversion of the visa category from F2B to F1
