Your worrying about nothing. They may of forgot something so they had to reopen your visa packet.  Based on the discussions I had with the case officer he informed me of the steps for the visa packet at the Embassy there in 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.

Once you get that second ready, it should be sent out within a few days, although we received our visa before any of the various websites that allow you to look up the status said that it had been sent out.

Thanks! It's all sorted now. It's back to issued. 

I called the embassy and they just had to cancel my current Tourist Visa in lieu of this K1 visa that they're issuing. Hoping to have VOH by the end of this week. Then it's off to good 'ol JVille NC at the end of the month. Thanks for taking the time out to reply.

I would only do it if you think you don't have a particularly strong case for some reason. Not many visits or something like that. Not sure how tough of an embassy they have.

No, the petitioner does not need to be present during the interview. There is and never have been any OFFICIAL requirement in ANY Embassy. Now having said that many of us were present at our beneficiary's interview but none of us can say that it improved the issuance of a visa. The CO told me at my wife's interview that they appreciate the petitioner's being there. (That does not mean he must be there, just that they appreciate it). Now some Embassy's let the petitionary in the waiting area and to come up to the window when it's their turn but there are some CO's who recognize the petitioner and then ask them to have a seat in the waiting room and if they need Him/Her they will call them back up to the window. Other CO's allow the petitioner to stand along with the beneficiary at the window during the interview. Again, each Embassy is different.

 

So long story short NO.

Your asking people here that are going through different Embassy what think is the answer to your Embassy. You'd be better served it you posed that question directly to someone who has completed the journey from your country's sub forum.

Alex arrived on Wednesday (they cancelled his last connecting flight on Tuesday). It won't feel real. It still doesn't feel real. It feels wonderful though. I think this morning I woke up and was just overwhelmed with happy.

Awww enjoy every moment guys.  My now husband got here 1 1/2 week ago and it feels great   

[ThomasNC1988 762]

Just a follow-up guys. Immigration took her less than 20 minutes at JFK and she said the people we're super nice. Actually had to move her flight to RDU up to one 3 hours earlier so she wouldn't have to be stuck at JFK so long. Had her first trip to Five Guys and Waffle House and now she is sound asleep. Exhausted from a 30+ hour trip but truly great day.
