I emailed my congressman (Mike Johnson in the 4th district of Louisiana) to raise awareness and bring up the requests in the initial post in this thread. After ten months into this process and being at the final step (the interview) I'm super ready to take action and welcome any other suggestions. 
 
I also emailed the Frankfurt consulate for clarification.

If it gives anyone hope, we got packet 3 on April 3rd, after all the shutdowns. We had been waiting two months for packet 3 so I'm not sure why we didn't get it during normal circumstances but got it during the Corona outbreak, but we did. Then we sent it in April 8th. My approval expired April 25th so I sent them a letter and email to extend the approval and they told me they actually are working regular cases just telecommuting. I'm sure things won't be as fast and the official word on the website is that they are still only doing emergency services but that gave us a little bit of hope. I still want to be realistic but of course you hold onto every little thing during this process. I have never experienced a deployment and neither of us are military so we won't, but we haven't seen each other in over 8 months so I'm sorry at the long wait you have a head. Best wishes!!!

Hey everyone. A week ago the ceac.state.gov website listed our application as "ready." The official website seems to be saying my fiance (the beneficiary) should be filling out the D-160 and paying the fees, though, others seem to say we can just wait until packet 3 comes. I'm not delaying anything by having him wait on packet 3, right? They aren't waiting for him to fill out the D-160 and pay the fees to send the packet?

I only got the number because I called them. I do have to call as soon as the clock strikes 7 am EST, otherwise I won't even get through to hold. Even then the hold is at least 25 minutes. Hopefully you find your number out soon! 

Yes, they told me over the phone. My fiance hasn't logged into the CEAC yet, I have only checked the application status.
