Hello guys,
 
Today my visa was issued finally after a hard / unique  / long visa journey, and the reason why i'm writing this thread is to share my particular case because it can be helpful for others who might have a similar situation like mine.
 
I posted my first thread one year ago, Help me please, can we get married before ds260, i didn't know anything about the procedures of diversity visa back then, some people told me to avoid getting married because it can decrease the chances of your visas getting approved, they told me to wait for her to get there and she can later petition for you, but we didn't want to be separated like that, we were about to get married anyways here, so we decided to get married and hope for the best, also your replies were really important to us to take that decision.
 
+ we got married, we filled DS260, waited for the confirmation letter, but no response from KCC, even tho we sent the required documents and we received the automatic reply, in January we called KCC, they told us that they didn't receive anything, and they advised us to send a new email again, 3 days later we got the confirmation email, so, if someone doesn't receive his confirmation email, you got to call them to check.
 
+ our case number is 12k, we received the appointment date late, it was 16th of April, the interview went smooth, but the consular told us that we're missing a document, and told us that we're going to have a second interview, you can read the whole thing in this thread i think i have a rare case, it was rare, because I've never heard of something like that, so basically my wife was born in 95 and was registered in 2002, they wanted a justification for this delay of birth registration, we brought an affidavit from the place where her birth was registered.
 
+ fast forward, they fixed another appointment which was a second interview, it was in 30th of May, we went there and waited 3 hours, until the room was empty, they called us in different counters, they asked us questions about the relationship that every genuine couple could answer.
 
+ and finally, today the visa was issued, i'm really happy we finally overcame this full year of stress and frustration, i hope this thread would help someone because i know the mental and physical sufferings we went through,
 
thanks to Jojo92122, and SusieQQQ for their help, and i thank everyone who helped me and didn't mention !

My husband's CEAC was "Ready" for two days then changed to AP. It was in AP for a week. His visa was issued but now we are waiting to hear that he can pick up his passport.

ready means ready for interview (only)
everyone will go into AP but they have not updated her site yet
when the visa is really ready ,  it will say issued or issued and printed
will take about a month after issued for Aramex to have the passport with visa stamp
so, let us know when this happens 

Why would it be confusing? You guys have two seperate passports and visas and are two different people, yours is being processed and hers hasnt been worked on yet so it still says "Ready" as in ready for interview. Be patient, it will be issued soon, congrats.

Yes it’s normal, the updates are done by humans, often they may save time by just updating one person in a case. Don’t worry about it. The only time to worry is if only one is “issued” and the other not, or, obviously, if any of them are “refused”.
