Ready status still continues and will remain there until such time as your CO begins the final adjudication then you will see it go through these stages first being AP. These are all good signs and nothing to worry about.

 

Just about everyone goes through this process.  Based on the discussions I had with the case officer he informed me of the steps to complete the processing of your visa:

 

the first AP is the immigration unit doing the paperwork for approving the visa

the first ready is a notice that they are finished and the paperwork is being sent for visa issuance

the second AP is the visa issuance people doing their own paperwork

the second ready is that the visa has been issued and is currently being processed for delivery

 

Then "issue" is posted and the visa has left the BIG house to YOUR house.

 

Once you get that second ready, it should be sent out within a few days, although we received our visa before any of the various websites that allow you to look up the status said that it had been sent out.

The information above is where my case gets confusing.

I was In immigrant ap post January 11th interview until January 30th when I changed to non immigrant ap. One case last updated date change on February 13th since.

dont know what the heck is going on and it’s stressing us out.

Well, I can see based on the length of time you have been in AP since the interview. When the status on CEAC keeps changing whether it the Immigrant to non-immigrant or dates ALWAYS means your file is being attended to which in my opinion is a GOOD thing. Unfortunately, you going to hear the same thing over and over that you need to wait a little longer. I have seen cases go one, two or more months before they have been issued. I have seen one take 4 years but that's so rare that I don't think statically that will happen in your case. So a little more of this

Our  case was updated on 02/19 to “issued”, but we haven’t received notice (email) that it is available for pickup, yet. She  elected to pick it up at a office in a city closer to her home, but pretty far from Rio. Do you think this time frame is normal? She is beginning to worry that it may  be lost or stolen....  

 

I’ve checked all sites and nothing has changed since 02/19

Well after almost a year, my fiancée had her interview today and she passed pending receiving medical. Unfortunately in Panama there is only one hospital doing medical exams so they are backed up. She actually completed her 2nd and final medical this morning before us heading over to the interview.

 

@AmandaandChayne I'm still lifting you up in my prayers ma'am!

This is exciting. Interview was Monday. Went into AP yesterday and earlier today it still said AP as if yesterday. Just checked and now says issued. Told her she is not leaving her house for anything tomorrow.  lol. 

 

 

I know how to track her Visa through mail too but so far it hasn't been created.
