our case was updated to ready today!
I think it means the embassy has received your case and is ready to schedule an interview. They have/will contact you with additional information. I haven’t received that yet but it should be coming soon with details on what to bring to the interview.
Just guessing, but I think they input your case into their systems. Not sure why they didn’t give you a case number? You can do another inquiry to get one or watch out for an email when it gets sent out and it’ll have your new case number in it.
got our case number!
