I would skip the signed delivery.  Nobody is sitting in the postal box (or big mail hamper) waiting to sign. Priority mail with tracking number always served me well.

Congrats to you too! We were approved on 6th, moved to AP on 9th and then to issued the same day. I had my passport delivered on 19th. so that was less than a week from the interview date

Firstly, thank you for all the amazing advice on this forum. I would not have felt as prepared for my interview otherwise. I want to do a few separate posts on the petition, medical and interview. First, here is our timeline:
 
03-Oct-2018 Petition filed (Filed in Texas)
26-Oct-2018 Confirmed petition received
.
.
Long wait
.
.
.
02-Jun-2019 RFE - Out attorney (which was the biggest waste of money) did not include the last page on our application form, her reasoning was it was blank. This was resent to include all pages. 
06-Jul-2019 Petition approved and sent to NVC
19-Aug-2019 Welcome email from NVC and request to complete DS260 and file supporting evidence.
26-Aug-2019 Submitted (You may ask why the delay? Out attorney didn't have all the information together as we expected. I also stressed to her that we needed the tax transcripts after reading on the forum yet she submitted the application without.)
03-Sep-2019 Request for additional sponsor information, tax transcripts and missing W2s (Frustrating as we provided this to these to the attorney)
20-Oct-2019 Case Complete
25-Nov-2019 Email from NVC and interview scheduled 06Dec
29-Nov-2019 Medical 
06-Dec-2019 Interview & APPROVAL
 
We would have had our interview sooner, but there was several delays on the way because of our attorney. That's a whole other story though.
 
We are just so grateful after a long wait we have now been approved and I can not wait to finally join my wife in the US to start our new life together. Good luck to everyone still on their way to approval, I know the wait can feel impossible at times. 
 
 
 

The date on the status tracker is updated by you checking it. Given that it was Friday you interview, I'd see how things go today, or possibly tomorrow.
 
Mine went:
 
2019-10-15 - Interview.
2019-10-16 at 08:04 - Status changed to 'Administrative Processing'.
2019-10-16 at 14:00 - Status changed to 'Issued'.
2019-10-17 at 14:35 - Received email with a tracking number and saying the passport with the visa was dispatched.
2019-10-18 - Called DX Couriers as I was in a rural area and the status of the tracking number said: "Your item has been sent via 3rd party. Please contact your service provider." - They told me they sent it via Royal Mail Special Delivery that morning. It took a while to register but at 15:40 it was in the South Midlands Mail Centre.
2019-10-19 at 10:04 - Received the delivery.

Ryan interviewed on a Friday.
Ryan’s case was updated on Friday and stayed at “ready” until Monday mid morning. 
It than changed to “Administrative Processing” until Tuesday at the end of day. 
Tuesday night it said “Issued” and Ryan had his Visa in hand Thursday. 
 
Yes, normal but obviously every case is different and yours may vary a bit from ours when going through each step. 

Hey everyone! We just got our visa status changed to ISSUED and waiting for the passport to arrive in our hands! 

Just received the interview appointment email today. Interview is on 16th January  dq’ed on 26th November.
