Approved!
8:30 appointment, out by about 10.
 
Security was very anxiety inducing, and the lady who reviewed my documents seemed a bit cranky, but the interview officer was very nice and set me at ease! I WAY over prepared. Half the documentation I brought wasn't needed, and they didn't ask for any evidence of relationship or anything!
 
Ahhhh

Had my interview today at 8 and was approved! I was out by 845ish. The woman at the first counter was impatient and not impressed with the amount of post-it notes I had haha. She also took every financial support document I brought (pay stubs, W2s, bank statements, stocks and bonds statements, and employment contract), which I wasn't expecting but planned for. The woman that interviewed me was very nice! So glad it's over with. Time to start packing 😅

I've never been one for pink, but I sure like the look of that pink "Welcome to the US" approval letter . 😀
 
Interview this morning went flawlessly, with the exception that they needed proof of payment of my consulate fee (which I didn't have) and they had to look it up for me. Multiple documents (i.e., confirmation page from the DS-160, petitioner's status and domicile) weren't even needed.  The lady who took my documents and the lady who interviewed me were super nice. All in all, an appointment at 7:30 meant I was out by 8:34 AM. 
 
It's real now. Oh boy.

Interview was yesterday, website says visa has been issued today! 

Visa in hand! 🙌🏽 Off to Atlanta on Friday 😊

Passport and visa in hand this afternoon!! Fiancé entering tomorrow, Manhattan City Hall on Friday!
 
Congrats everyone, see you for AOS! 🥂
 
 

Passports and Visa on Hand!!!!
 
You can take your time or not but in our case... being  proactive with the process took exactly 7 months and  7 days from mailing  the application to passports on hand  🖐 🤚 
 
Thanks for all the support and Good Luck to Everyone!

If you can hold off sending P3 till the 2nd READY... that seems to be the ticket to getting P4.

Woohooo we got ISSUED this am! 
We will breathe normally as soon as we receive the passports... One more wait and done!!!
 
Good luck to all of you ... the struggle is real, but this forum helped tremendously!

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! 

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

Yes, on CEAC website.  The day of the interview (a couple of hours later), it changed from READY to APPLICATION RECEIVED and also switched from IMMIGRANT to NON IMMIGRANT. 
 
You can check NON IMMIGRANT status on CEAC using DS-160 application number.
 

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! 

For anyone who may still be following this: VISA HAS BEEN ISSUED! CEAC finally changed to issued this morning and my fiancé got his email for tracking as well. He had his interview back on July 3, 2019. Was told he was approved but then received DS-5535 within a few hours and we have been waiting ever since! 

Congrats!!!!!!

Interviewed today... We got APPROVED!!!  God is great!

Our interviews will be okay!

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. 

whew, i'm done with captcha step.... trees, traffic lights, palm trees, cars, etc... hahahaha

interview dates for k1 just opened up... grabbed one spot! nov 6!

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. 

Nov 6th!!! GOOD LUCK guys
