Update:

53 days later....I have finally moved to "Issued".

I honestly did not believe it when I saw it just now. I am literally running through every emotion in the book at this moment.

I really have no idea what else to say at this point. I'm...just stunned at this point.

CONGRATS!!!! That's great news! I'm still stuck with each of our 3 visas in each separate process =( Glad to hear you finally got good news

Yah Trenz!

Thanks a bunch! :)

Thanks! Like I said earlier, I can't help but feel guilty getting mine issued while others wait. Heck, throw in 3 separate statuses for family members no less and it would just be a giant nail biter the whole way through. I hope yours, along with everyone else's, comes through here very soon.

*sigh* I'm very sorry to hear that. Really and truly I am. It's not fair that anyone has to wait after a successful interview, in my opinion. I know it's only hallow words at this point, but I really will be hoping for you guys to hear some good news this week.
