Update: Our interview was scheduled for tomorrow as it turns out it was cancelled due to the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian on the other islands of the Bahamas. I haven’t received an emailing stating this or how to reschedule, however a third party source told me to check the consulate’s (where I am from) website and it’s there confirming the cancellation. 
 
Oh oh boy I miss my fiancé so much I hope this doesn’t get push into our 1 year engagement anniversary  
 
 

Hello,
 
I've been active on VJ for more than six months now (mostly on the K1 forum and China regional forum) and only just realized that this forum and thread for Feb I-129F filers exists. 
Feeling particularly pleased today so want to share my fiancee and my good news: 
After interviewing at the consulate in Guangzhou China 15 days ago, her visa status today changed from "Administrative Processing" to "Issued", meaning we should have visa in hand tomorrow or the day after at the latest. We've already booked our flights to the US, and will going through POE together at San Francisco International Airport on Sep. 26. 
 
Here's our full timeline so far:

I-129F Sent :    2019-02-23
I-129F NOA1 :    2019-03-01
I-129F RFE(s) :    none
I-129F NOA2 :    2019-05-30
NVC Received :    2019-06-20
NVC Left :    2019-07-02
Consulate Received :    2019-07-04
Packet 3 Received :    2019-07-18
Packet 3 Sent :    2019-07-19
Packet 4 Received :    2019-07-23
Interview Date :    2019-08-26
Interview Result :    Approved
Visa status "Issued": Today (2019-09-10)
Visa received: Expected tomorrow or the day after
US Entry: Expected 2019-09-26
POE: San Francisco
 
When we filed the I-129F back in February, we were told to expect 10 months before visa issuance, and our hope was that we might be in the US before Christmas. Well the whole process ended up being much faster than 10 months. We will be entering the US just over 7 months after initial filing (it could have been even earlier, but we delayed the interview by about 2 weeks). Needless to say we're pleased with this result.
 
Starting to look into the AOS process now. Aware that things are about to get a lot harder when the Trump Administration's new rules go into effect on October 15, 2019, so we're going to try to get the AOS application in the mail before October 15.
 
Hope all you other February 2019 filers get your good news soon as well!
 
 

YAAY  Congrats

Same. At least with the date we could plan some bit. I think the interviews are held only on two Tuesdays each month so going by the dates I've seen people post and what I heard from the Mater I reckon they'll be on 8th and 22nd October. But knowing that the process isn't as streamlined as previously anything could happen 😂

Not getting my hopes up tbh.... my fiance keeps saying it'll be next week....everyday I ask him if its mid September yet😂

Hoping this will be the week for us all to get our interview dates  

We got approved!!! Interview was today a few hours ago. We are so ecstatic!! Thank you everyone on this site for all your help! Good luck to everyone still waiting. 

So today 189 days after it all began... our interview was a success !!! Mike Pence was even visiting the embassy today !!!❤️❤️ Thank you for your help and support !

We got approved!!! Good luck to everyone else! 

Thanks for the help guys  

Hi All, waiting patiently on my NOA-2 (hopefully I’ll have that soon) in the meantime I’m looking into the vaccinations I’ll need. 
I have most of the vaccines, however a few of the vaccines required on the list only became available in Ireland in recent years.
I have had chicken pox and my doctor did a blood test which shows I now have chicken pox immunity, as a result he does not want to do the chicken pox vaccine on me. Is there a way he could write a letter or something which would prove that I am immune or will he just have to give me the vaccine anyway?
The second issue is that the rotavirus vaccine is only suitable for babies from what I can see. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks

Hmmm I'd love to know why we don't just get a date now even it if it's not until October. I'd feel more at ease with a definite date.

I recently submitted my Notice of Readiness to the Dublin embassy.
 
I see on a lot of Irish people's timelines that they generally receive their interview date shortly after they submit their notice. It only takes 2 days to receive it in a lot of cases.
 
I was wondering if I should be worried that I haven't received by interview date yet. It's been 4 days. I'm aware the embassy says to allow 6 weeks to hear back from them, but that doesn't actually appear to be the case for most people. Either way, is it safe to say I'll be having my interview sometime next month?
 
 

We are in the same situation. We submitted the notice of readiness on Saturday last and have yet to receive an email. I wonder if they are backed up or if I’ve missed something! 

Well it's reassuring to know we're not the only ones waiting. It must just be a busy week for them. I hope you get your interview date soon : )

Update: Case Ready 🤗Along with the P3 😎

Actually I did a bit digging today and found out that something was shipped to the Bahamas today EXP 20 AUG 2019A

Hello!!!
In trasito
Thank God closer.
A good birthday present

Hello to all, I normally manifested patiences during this entire process and usually kept to myself but this step is a bit of an eyebrow raiser. My case was in transit from August 6th 2019 the odd thing is that the DHL hack doesn’t work. Is there anyone out there still waiting from August 6th shipment ? 

Has anyone recently scheduled interview in  Dublin? How long have you waited for interview from sending notice of readiness?

Hi, I had nearly a 4 week wait from the day I submitted the notice of readiness to the interview. I was contacted 2 days after the notice of readiness with an interview date. 
 
Best of luck! 

I received P3 last week Friday, sent the requested documents back on Monday and today the embassy finally received it. Now waiting for the September calendar to open for interview scheduling!
Fingers crossed that everybody can schedule their interview soon!  

@Greenbaum Thank you for the information. 
 
The P3 we got matches the one you had previously sent me so I have already had a jump start so to speak. 
 
Thanks for your continued help.  

Hi guys, my case showed Ready in CEAC since July 25 and until now I still didn't receive my P3. What should I do? Nothing in Spam folder also. My embassy is Abu Dhabi.

Your appreciation is my motivation.  Thank you.
 
Since the day I started our process I learned three lessons. They who have the gold make the rules and learning to trust the process was #2. Three was they only promised me a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would come.
 
The PDF was made out of necessity for my sanity. The same question asked over and over again drove me to answer them with this document.  Like you said it's all there and I say only if you read it and NOT read into it. 
 
One more tip for those reading this post is about those who come here and add a questions and it's been answered just in the last few posts prior to theirs. 
 
I add sarcasm to some of my post but there for a reason.  To wake ppl up to that fact that information has been addressed in another post that you neglected to read.
 
Thank you again.
