Congratulations! Hopefully it's in hand swiftly and good luck with your AOS and the future 

My fiance seems to think that because he told them he was leaving on the 12th of February ours got issued quickly. They also had his medical on hand because he did it two weeks before so that also could be why, either way we are excited and happy we got to move along quickly. Good luck!

That's actually a good analogy 😂
A London interview is like a chat with the cafeteria lady who just heard you are marrying an American. Oooh, how did you meet him? Where will you live? What does he do for a living? When are you moving?
 
 
I think it's because you followed their process in order and had everything needed in place (like the medical results) so it moved on through like it was supposed to. I'm guessing delivery on Friday. 

Our CEAC just changed to issued! ❤️ YAY

Congratulations! Thank you for your updates. It's very helpful! My fiance is planning on flying out in a few weeks we are so excited 😁

I think so! My states is changed to issued today at 15:00pm. My post interview status change are as follows for your reference 🙂
 
Tue 22nd January - Interview - Ready
Wed 23rd January - Ready
Thu 24th January - Non-Immigrant AP  (updated around 15:00pm)
Fri 25th January - Non-Immigrant AP
Mon 28th January - Non-immigrant Issued! (updated around 15:00pm) 
 
Note: I am a Japanese citizen with Japanese passport holder who has been living in UK for approx 15yrs 🙂
Hope your status change to Issued soon! I am planning to give a notice to my work where I worked for 13yrs... once I have my visa in hand! (4wks notice..is long way!) 

Congratulations!!!! Best feeling in the world getting approved. I remember I nearly collapsed, thankfully my husband was taking notes from the kindest CO lady. We had so much beer and champagne after!! Oh that hangover next day when I booked my flights (I went against advice of waiting for visas prior to booking my flight ticket)  

Got my K-1 approved the other day and leaving for the USA in a few weeks. Very excited for this new chapter in life and just wanted to come say thanks to everyone on this forum who helped answer all the dumb nervous questions I had on every little thing, even the ones who were jerks to me 😂 Let's be honest, there are quite a few know-it-alls on this forum but most people are really helpful and empathetic so thanks for all the advice/info.
 
Also, I have a YouTube channel as a hobby and I made a short video on the K-1 process to hopefully help other people thinking about this route. Feel free to check it out/share it with other K-1 applicants (and no doubt leave me tons of snarky comments about how I got all the facts wrong! 😀):
 
 
 
 

Yes. The embassy doesn't want it, nor does the clinic. His TB clearance is noted on the paper report. They give it back in case he wants to save it for future personal medical purposes. Or he can use it for a coaster.😛
 
They typically say to put in you carryon luggage for POE, but those immigration blokes are not radiologists and will not be reading his X-ray.

My fiance was told he was approved today at his interview!! I don't have much information atm he's traveling back home now but he did say they had his medical on hand. We booked Medical and Embassy 2 weeks apart. They asked him; if he had worked in the US before, if he had been arrested, when he plans to fly out, if he had been married/divorced before. He said that he barely needed any of the paperwork that he brought. They also gave him his x-ray back(?) is that normal? anyways I'll have more details once he gets home and post a consulate review. 

Sounds like a great plan.
 
The deal with the SSN is that some offices have clueless workers who just don't understand immigration. A K1 is eligible for a SSN up until two weeks before their 90 days are up, married or not. But uninformed workers have told people "Oh, you got married so you are now a K3 and not eligible". BS!  Your visa can't magically change to a different visa. 
 
Best bet in case you happen to get a clueless person is just don't bring up marriage or ask for the social in any new name. Apply in the exact name printed on your I-94 even if they run together your middle names like JOHNDAVID SMITH. Be JohnDavid. They have to find the name immigration has recorded, or they do manual verification which takes time being mailed off to USCIS. Get the SSN and sort the names out later. That is easy to do once you have EAD or a greencard. If given any flack, ask for a supervisor who should know the rules and don't leave until they let you see one. I was already married and had sent off AOS before going to the Social Security office. Had a good worker and the card received in the mail within a week.
 

Where it says "IMMIGRANT" in your status will change to "NONIMMIGRANT" before Issued.

Thanks guys!   Just checked again and it's updated to today's date 23rd January and still status is still ready. so I presume someone's touched it today but it's not complete? 
 
 
 
I'm confident it will come in time.  I've booked a flight for the 15th February and my wedding is on the 22nd of February. SO EXCITED! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
 

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 always nice to hear someone is approved

Thank you very much @Yuriwales - very helpful!  

Best day ever

Hello!
 
You can go ahead with your medical!
They'll give you a letter after you've done everything that states that they need further evidence regarding your history of depression etc.
Your medical results will be placed on hold until they recieve that letter from your GP.
I had my medical and the next day scanned through the letter
