Please help and enlighten me. My kids appeared at the us embassy in Manila last February 9. The interview went well and the officer said he is recommending approval and to wait 2-4 weeks for the visa/ passport. Even after the interview, CEAC status did not change. It stayed as Ready Status. This afternoon the status changed to Refused. What should i do? Should i contact the embassy or wait for them to contact me? We did not receive any 221 G slip or any white slip. Please help.

You will be fine. The status will change again and the visas will be issued.

 

You can use the search function on this forum to look for many other threads about this subject. The visas were granted.

 

It is really unfortunate that the Embassy continues to use the panic-inducing term "Refused" for whatever internal process they have for the visa stamping.

Thank you so much. We have waited for this moment for years. And we did not expect this update. Hopefully they will grant my children visas soon as i just went home to accompany them at the interview hoping to go back to us with them.

 

You're welcome :) Here's a recent experience from another member, in the Philippines sub-forum. It may help put you more at ease:
