Visa was issued today, too 🥳

Yep. 2 weeks exactly. But it varies, some get it even the next week. 
But No, I didn’t have to provide anything extra. They do say it takes at least 10 business days. 

"Visa Receive" . . . The Long Wait is Over !!! 
 
Thank you so much @Greenbaum , @Lucy&Jason  for the help since in the beginning of the process! 😘  To all out there who are still waiting your next, just keep more patience... God Bless us all!!!  🙏🙏🙏

Oh! and congratulations on your approval!

Finally. My case went to AP. And finally I was able to get a status on NIV. Only with my DS-160 number not case number. But that is in AP now. SO CLOSE

We followed VJ’s advice. Had my interview and approved and they didn’t ask about it

This has nothing to do with the Embassy and your interview. This is for "LOCAL" USCIS offices and they have no impact what-so-ever on the K-1 process. So rest assured the "SKY IS NOT FALLING".

Wonderful news!! Congratulations and all the best!!

Hey guys! Just letting you know that my fiance and I landed in Houston a few hours ago and everything went great. They took us to secondary inspection only to open our envelope and check out passports, that was it. Then they told us about the 90 day limit and the aos. (By the way, is there an aos thread? I'm lost in the process).
They were all very nice and the whole thing took no longer than 15 min

Approved ☺️ 
 
Probably have more questions than that peace feeling of being approved but I’ll believe it when I get that passport back ☺️

That’s great!!!!!! congrats!!!
 
I’m still at ready, one week later 😒

I've sent an email requesting her presence with me during the interview, thanks for the info!

I would take it to mean you are approved. Maybe it will just add a few extra days before visa is issued. I’m not sure.
 
but I do get what you are feeling... I’m not really believing I’m approved until I see that visa in my passport in my hand. Hang in there and hope you get an update soon!
I sooo feel like I’m back in the NOA2 wait 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Definitely possible. There was a couple there when I was interviewed last Tuesday. I am not sure how they went about it. I know email is the preferred option in general to communicate with the Consulate. Maybe email? Unless someone else comes back with something more concrete  Congrats on your interview date!

This is a problem I've seen people report sometimes. Happens when someone had tourist or some other Non-IV visa before, and when they pay for K-1 it pulls up number for their old DS-160 that doesn't match DS-160 for K-1. Usually this is corrected during or before the interview by the conciliate staff. It was probably corrected in your case as well. 

Interesting.
 
@Greenbaum I have two AA numbers. I just checked both.
 
One is from DS-160 and it says ‘no status’ last updated Jan 6. Fair enough- guessing they just haven’t updated anything.
Next number is from my MRV Receipt with a different AA number. Just checked and it’s from my B1/B2 visa. Is that normal? Why would that number come up now after paying for K1 visa? This is all on NON-IV...

This is super helpful! I didn’t realise there were two APs and two Readys before they issue it! Thanks for explaining. I’m wondering if I’m in that first ready. IV status still says ready but last updated yesterday (interview date). But the information is the same ‘your case is ready for your interview to be scheduled’ 
Anyway, I’m going to try not get too bogged down by it but now I won’t panic if I see it switch from AP to ready and back again  🤣🤣🤣
