Interview lasted less than 5 mins. No affidavit or photos were asked for and CO only asked how did we meet, what is his work, when did he arrive here, and if the petitioner is a US citizen. Then we were approved , handed a paper with instructor how to register for delivery , and went home with bigger smiles than we entered. Maybe my fiancé being next to me made a difference in how many questions asked. We prepared so much .

Congrats. Everyone over prepares for something that takes less than 5 minutes. I have to laugh at that because it was the same way with us.

Just about everyone gets this.  Based on the discussions I had with the case officer he informed me of the steps for Embassy Manila:

 

the first AP is the immigration unit doing the paperwork for approving the visa

the first ready is a notice that they are finished and the paperwork is being sent for visa issuance

the second AP is the visa issuance people doing their own paperwork

the second ready is that the visa has been issued and is currently being processed for delivery

 

Then "issue" is posted and the visa has left the BIG house to YOUR house. We can't say for sure how long it takes. We have seen same day and we have seen 6 months. Most gets there within 2 weeks. Just have to have a little more Patience.

Okay thank you so much , Greenbaum! Was worrying that not going to releasing window after our interview affected our petition.

just make sure your delivery address is OK. You only have a window of 24 hours from your interview to change it.

Greetings, we were just approved for K1 Visa. We were wondering if we made a mistake because after the interview we didn’t go to releasing window, we left right after. Were we suppose to wait at releasing? We got a paper with instruction to register delivery options . Thank you 

The CO after the interview  didn't tell you to wait to be called to the releasing window?   Maybe it wasn't needed.   You got delivery instructions that is usually what you get at the releasing window if no additional documents are needed.

 

You may be just fine.  Now for a little more patience.
