Spouse - DUI - DCF approved - status?

[longsack22 0]

We applied, direct consulate file to the embassy, it was accepted. Did all the paperwork, approved for an interview. Had the interview, at the interview they asked for her "court documents" we didn't have them (didn’t know to bring them) we got a blue slip.... we returned the passport and court documents as requested on the blue slip (the same day - Friday - Aug 5). CEAC showed the visa status as "refused" after the interview.

 

The following Monday on CEAC (Aug 8), the status changed to "Ready".  I assume this is the day the embassy received the documents requested.  CEAC showed as updated and “ready” 8 Aug, then another update was made on 11 Aug but it still shows "ready" (I guess an internal update) it says that we need to schedule an interview if it is not already scheduled. I assume we do not have to do a second interview and we have not received anything saying we have to do another interview.

They have her police records, court documents (she paid her fine and owes nothing more, case is closed). She did her medical, she was evaluated by a psychologist for alcoholism (health). We did this twice by mistake, long story, (so she knows what the evaluation says), isolated issue, no sign of repeated issues, no indication of alcohol abuse. We also reported this issue on all applicable visa forms.
 

The embassy has asked for nothing more… and we have heard nothing more.

 

What's your thoughts? Approved/denned?  What’s happening?  Verification of all we submitted?
Any idea on a time frame? They have everything they need and requested and had her send her passport back with the court documents (when they requested it on the blue slip) are we missing or could we could be doing? Any idea on length of time this may take to get a result?

Thanks

No guaranteed timeframe, unfortunately.  Just contact the consulate regularly to follow up.
