"Ready" means that your passport should be sent to them so that a visa is issue. And "Issued" means that the visa has been printed on the passport, and the passport is ready to be picked up. In some countries the US Embassy couriers the passport to the applicant.

01 May 2013 - Was informed by the emabssy that my case is still on Administrative Processing. So i kept checking this website :https://ceac.state.gov/ceacStatTracker/Status.aspx? for Visa status. I would get the following:

Immigrant Visa Case Number: 2013AS4XXX XX ABD
Case Creation Date: 02-Nov-2011
Status Updated Date: 01-May-2013.
Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing

Now today i checked the status it showed:
Immigrant Visa Case Number: 2013AS4XXX XX ABD
Case Creation Date: 02-Nov-2011
Status Updated Date: 05-August-2013.
Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing.


Gabam, what this means Status Updated Date is 05.Aug.2013 and still under administrative processing.

Well, after reading all that you've said, I understand that your case is still pending Administrative Processing. So, when the AP is finished, they will issue you the visa. Wishing you best of luck!!!

I don't know why the embassy and the CEAC site have different information, but if your case had been rejected the CEAC site would no longer say "administrative processing" but "refused". So you're still in the game.

From what I saw (I was in AP on a "technicality" of missing documents for a couple of weeks), the status update date gets changed every time someone physically does something with your file. So something is happening. We had a few date updates without status update in the week after our documents reached the consulate, so I presume such mundane things as receipt of document result in an update.

If I were you though I would call the embassy as well, seeing as their website says something different - possibly they may be able to give you some info?
 
Helloooooooooooooooo, any good news guys, I think it is time to hear one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hello gabam,

Still no news at all for me :( , but it is getting closer than before :) . Lets hope for this Nightmare to end very soon. The US Embassy of my country they reopened today, So I sent them an email asking them if they got any new update about my case. Because even the CEAC website says that your case is under AP, the Embassy might have something else to say.
