We sent ours as soon as we saw the first ready on Aug. 28, but may have been too quick to the draw. They sent us an email back right away saying please wait to send your Packet 3 materials until the Visa Unit is ready.
 
Then we got the second ready on September 5, sent an inquiry email (whether or not to send the materials again), they responded the next morning telling us to send the Packet 3 components, and we sent the materials again. They responded on September 10 with Packet 4. Based on what people here had recommended, it worked for us to just keep communicating with them until they told us it was okay to send, then wait for them to send Packet 4. This was SO much faster because we only received the actual Packet 3 request in the mail weeks later. 
 

We've been ISSUED too!! About two hours ago, so happy. My sentiments exactly - thank you to everyone here, this forum provided much needed support and information during this process. 
 
See you on the other side!

From Application Received? 
 
AP is Administrative Processing. Normally it's the last stage before 'ISSUED,' if I'm correct.  
 

Latest update, ours has now changed to 'Application Received' and from IMMIGRANT to NON IMMIGRANT. Things are moving! 

Hey @Oh_Canada, no movement on our end either following our Nov 6 interview. I sent an email today and got an auto-response that notified that they were closed Thursday, November 7 and Friday, November 8, as well as yesterday, November 11, so we're hoping they're just a couple of days delayed processing the approved visas from last Wednesday. That seems to make the most sense..
 
As soon as anyone gets an update let us know! 

Hey ScooterJones,
 
Quick question! We just had our interview last week on 11/6, were approved (!!) and also paid for premium - when did you see that your visa said 'ISSUED' on CEAC? Is it on CEAC that we check this??? Ours still just says 'Ready' but updated last on 11/6. 
 

We also did not receive a notice! Seems like our appointments will be fine, but I agree, way too close for comfort!  Thanks for double checking, glad we're all in the same boat. 

Hi everyone, I just wanted to check in to see if anyone has any insight on the new presidential decree released yesterday. 
 
According to NY Times, Guardian, etc., "Immigrants applying for US visas will be denied entry into the country unless they can prove they can afford health care within 30 days of entering or can’t pay for it themselves, according to a proclamation signed by President Trump. The new rule, which comes into force on 3 November, will be applied to people seeking immigrant visas, not those in the US already. It does not apply to those seeking asylum seekers, refugees or children. But it would apply to the spouses and parents of US citizens. That could have an impact on families who are trying to bring their parents to the US."
 
I do not mean to stir a panic and I don't think it applies to us K1 applicants anyway as the K1 is non-immigrant visa. In any case, my partner would be able to afford healthcare once he enters, but we haven't seen anything on VJ yet so thought we'd just check in. I suppose this may come into play for us when we do AOS after we get married. Any thoughts on how this new requirement might affect our processes would be much appreciated! 
 
Thanks all, ever grateful for this community. 

I feel you, I refreshed maybe 5 minutes before I saw your post (and every 10-20 minutes before that 🙄) and they weren't available. Then saw your post and called my fiancé to book immediately (he's the beneficiary)! So happy they came through.

We're waiting for dates to open too! From other peoples' experience, do they open multiple dates for the month at the same time? Refreshing the page like a maniac... It'll be great if we can notify each other on here when spots for November start to appear!
 
Fingers crossed for all of us! 🤞🤞
