After NOA2 was when I did it, I think the embassy wanted one issued in the last six months so with processing times being how they are I'd order it around then, it only took me a week to get mine. Have a look at the form to apply for one earlier and make sure you've got all the data in front of you. You'll need a lot of the same information for your DS160 so having it printed out can be a handy aide memoire. 

I wouldn't check the USCIS page too much (doesn't help I know) but I just got my K1 in the mail almost exactly five months after my NOA1 (exactly 90 days to NOA2, took about a month through NVC then a couple of weeks to my interview and medical) and my USCIS tracker still doesn't show the NOA2, so keep an eye on your petitioners mailbox and don't worry, it'll come eventually.

Just an update, my visa and large (somewhat inconveniently large) envelope arrived five minutes ago!

I got my email with the tracker ID today at lunchtime, it's due to be here tomorrow. So one week (5 business days) from interview my visa is due to arrive. 

I'm in exactly the same boat as you FlashLG. Interview the 26, Issued the 28th! So I'm eagerly watching my email!

Just an update for everyone. My visa was Issued today at 2pm. My CEAC was "Ready" for about a day after the interview, then the next afternoon it went to "Application Received" for a couple of hours, "Administrative Processing" as an Immigrant Visa it sat in for 12 hours (and the creation date changed to the day after the interview, it then switched to Non-Immigrant and still "Administrative Processing" late last night, a few hours later it switched to Issued.

If anyone else is a worrier and a compulsive CEAC checker I hope this is reassuring when you guys have the same experience, I certainly got briefly anxious seeing the AP setting.

Definitely. I'd expected to be given the third degree, but it really wasn't that bad. Simple straightforward questions etc. I think I'd read too many horror stories from the scarier consulates. 

I had my medical about a week ago at Knightsbridge, it was a bit intimidating (especially for someone with an anxiety disorder being questioned about how anxious I was!) but after asking all the questions I'd ticked to and looking at my patient summary/checking my vaccinations and chest xray I was informed it was fine and my medical would go on to the embassy 4 business days later, I was pleasantly surprised it arrived in a shorter amount of time than that. 

The K1 interview today went great, would have been nice if it hadn't rained though. Documents were taken at the first window instantly (I had barely walked through the doors and the bleep went off for me to take my papers up) they didn't end up taking the copies of most documents just the originals, I was a cadet instructor for a couple of years so they were a bit iffy I had no paperwork for that but they didn't end up needing it.

Twenty minutes minutes later I got my main interview. Just a few brief questions then they said I was approved, I was dizzy, excited and almost fainted. I'm a pretty anxious person but it really wasn't as bad as I had worked it up to being in my head (I'd worried myself an absurd amount about x possible problems). The 1pm Wednesday slot was a good idea, seemed not to have many people there (3 people ahead of me in line and no one else waiting)

It's still not really sunk in yet! I'd talked myself into worrying about every little detail but it turns out there was no need. "I'm going to approve your visa, it will arrive in the next 14 days" is probably the second best thing I've heard in my life; the first being when my lovely fiancee said yes to marrying me!
