Sound advice! Yes, I remember your prior post about the Consulate requesting the passport already in their possession. I got a chuckle out of that one! 😂 -
In the USCIS Case Tracker app, as well as on the CEAC website
-
Ours changed from “Refused” to “Expiring Soon” .. only for one day. Back to “Refused” with the refused language paragraph today. It should update to “Issued” once Consulate receives as requested, and stamps passport
-
Our approval email indicates “A new medical from our Panel physician (please bring a copy of this email to your medical appointment)”. Can’t say whether you can proceed to schedule without that language in your email, but it can’t hurt to give it a try
-
Yes, if your medical was completed in November, 2023 I believe you would have been asked for a fresh one. I would email the Consulate to point this out. Easily a mistake could have been made on their end
-
Yes.. completion of the DS-5535 was the only item requested at interview. This has to be a glitch on their system 🤪
-
Whatever is asked for is all you need to provide. Email the Consulate to let them know you’d like to come to personally deliver the Passport for stamping and pick-up the same day. It’s been done by others. We plan to do so as well
-
Finally .. received the happy, happy - joy, joy email this morning. Requested passport, updated medical, and RCMP Certificate. Nothing else. @Superluminal please update (we received two additional case status updates before today’s request.) Thank you!

I will research as to what it signifies. I saw the same 10/31/2025 Expiration Date on ours, with the accessible Re-opened tab. It went away upon updating the DS-260.

This makes zero sense to me, but I also understand it’s a good sign toward visa adjudication. Unsolicited update (August 1st - Refused status still). Updated the Re-opened DS-260 on August 6, plus Congressional Inquiry also in the works. August 7 update changes status to “Expiring Soon”. I’ll be searching this thread as I recall a recent discussion on this topic
-
I’m going to go with the request/instructions found on the CEAC website. It does not indicate to wait for request from the Consulate. If later again required when AP completed, update at that time as well
-
😂 You have a conspiracy leaning vivid imagination 🤣🤣🤣
-
I wouldn’t wait for the Consulate to adjudicate out of AP and ask for it. Update it as requested
-
That is quite peculiar. An error request on their part for the earlier one? Anybody’s guess. I would update it again now, if I were you
-
Nope, they’re not sending email notifications, you can bet on that. It would require resources the government does not have. If not updated by the time the Consulate completes AP and requests passport, etc, it will ask then that it be updated
-
I can’t say exactly when it Re-opened, to be honest. I noticed it when I logged in to the CEAC website (I use the USCIS Case Tracker app for the most part) on July 29. Interview was July 21, 2023, so I’m going to conclude the DS-260 became available to update at some point shortly after the interview first year anniversary
-
The DS-260 is “Re-opened” after the one year mark from Interview date for us waiting in AP/Visa adjudication. It requires updating at that time
-
When it’s time to update (one year from interview date) verbiage below will appear for your case in CEAC. No instruction email for completion guidance will be sent to you
-
Congratulations 🥳💥 🎉 🍻🥂🍾
-
Is the estimated time to update/complete the DS-260
-
They (Consulate) requested an update for your DS-260 without adjudicating the visa?
-
Not since August 1st
-
I logged in to the website. We’re still awaiting the Consulate’s request for passport, etc
-
Good for one year from the interview date, is my understanding. I just noticed ours now shows re-opened (July 21 marked one year since interview)
-
I think around 10 or so have been adjudicated at this point(?)
