Can anyone who had petitioned a k1 visa in DR and was not present for the interview share their experience?

My fiancée had her visa approved on 9/21/2016, however, I was not present for the interview. Now her visa status says under AP, can anyone whom may had a similar experience share how long did it take before visa was issued. I understand that every case is diffent, just want to have a general idea.

Thanks!!!

It is so hard not to loose patience, I guess my not attending the interview did not really affect anything since it was approve. I'll give it a month and see what happen.

Did the CO return all the pictures/proofs that you submitted to to USCIS with the I129F petition back to you or did he/she kept all of it after the interview?

I know exactly what you mean, it does not help at all to see others getting theirs so promptly and yours is not. I know that it is still early in my case, kipping fingers crossed!!!
