Hello everyone,

Almost three weeks ago, my husband sent additional documents to the Embassy proving my domicile as a US citizen (he got a 221g refusal at the interview) We sent: 1 year lease agreement, bank account, wire transfer of money, state ID and voter card.

I have lived in Macedonia for 15 years and been to the US a few times, but not enough to have domicile. I am in the US now and got all the above mentioned documents. 
I would like to go back to Macedonia this week and tie up loose ends (such as close bank accounts etc) and hopefully, if my husband gets approved, come back to the US together.

Can I go back to Macedonia even though his visa is still not approved? (it says READY at CEAC)

You are a US citizen.  You can exit and enter as you please.
