Just about everyone goes through this process.  Based on the discussions I had with the case officer he informed me of the steps to complete the processing of your visa:

 

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.

I don't know what your embassy is because you never completed your profile - see the flag in others profile. Each embassy is different. Some take a day and some take a month and others 6 months and sometimes 1 year. I have experience with most but not knowing your embassy is disheartening as I can't help you.

It can take a week or a month or 6 months. SD usually takes about 2-3 weeks. Your mileage may vary.

My Fiancee has her visa approved today!

Thank you All for your support inputs in making this successful!

 

Infact we were scared that things might go wrong since we had an engagement, and presented our engagements pictures, yet my fiancee told the CO that it was an engagement and not to be taken as marriage. She defender her stands that in her family a woman must be engaged before marriage.
