AP --> Ready?

[caffeine_dreams 1]

Hello everyone. Our status was changed from AP (after an approved interview in December) to ready this week, and the creation date was also updated to this week.

CEAC update said to check back in two business days, and I looked again today, two business days later, and no change. (It's like why put two business days if you don't mean two business days, but, I digress.)

My question is how long people have found it takes to change from Ready to Issued?

Thank you very much, and best wishes for everyone here!!

Thanks for replying--I really hope so because I feel like all of the time estimates have been wrong so far. But I am very grateful to have made it this far.

I've seen so many of your posts to other people and you are so kind and encouraging! I sincerely hope your process comes to successful completion soon. My best wishes and prayers to you!

Thanks for your wishes.

I know how bad is a long ap for a couple, in my case is almost ending my relationship, it is so hard.

I dont wish that nobody go through this. It is painful.

Thanks God you are almost out of ap

Dont worry if you have to wait a little more until change to issued, the most important thing is that ap end.

Thank you I'm sorry to hear about the effect it's having on your relationship. How long have you been together? I hope you both are able to find a balance between waiting and anticipation, and come to the successful end of this process!

Mine became ISSUED directly after AP. Ready did not show up. Is your passport in the consulate? I guess this is a step that they request for a passport. It takes not too long

Thanks for replying, and congrats for getting yours issued! The passport was kept at the embassy after the interview--fell into AP since then, and now, thank God, has turned to Ready. I'm hoping it moves to issued soon!

Still wondering if anyone knows how long it actually takes to show as issued? I know the answer is "soon", but I am trying to gauge how long it stays "ready" before being issued. Anyone?

It's been 6 business days and no updates. ceac update had said to check back in 2 days.

I swear, "wait" has become my least favorite word EVER.
