Status changed from Refused to Admin Processing (Pending Medical)

[notaswiftie 0]

Hey folks -- my medical took place on the 6th of June. I needed some other vaccinations those were mailed out by the 10th to the clinic. 

 

I then had my IV interview on 12th of June. The consular informed me that It was approved. However, the medical results were not there — once they will be updated 
the passport will be mailed out another 5-10 working days after that. I specifically asked her if my case went to admin processing or anything and she said nope all is approved so post the medical it should be another 5-10 days max. 

 

Post that on the ceac website the status changed to “refused” as is normal for cases pending medical.

 

Now on the 20th I mailed the embassy asking for an update (I had confirmed that the medical had been mailed out by the clinic) . On the 21st I checked and the status on the website had changed to “Administrative Processing” .

 

Can anyone please offer some insight on why the case changed to administrative processing? Is it still due to the medical results not being updated at the embassy end or is it something else ? I have to travel in the coming month and I hope it’s not one of those long background checks/admin processings. The location is the UK.

Everybody has Admin Processing at some point. My status was only AP for a couple of hours though before it changed to issued (also UK). Hopefully yours will change soon as well. 

 

Did the medical clinic not offer to do your missing vaccinations? They usually do and then that would have avoided all this.
