Have you tried calling the embassy about this? This seems very odd but it maybe just a glitch on their part? I was interviewed May 30 and right now my status says Issued already.

@jafll so it only takes 2 days of your status to change? amazing! im a bit excited now. i hope ours won't take long

Wow, that was quick! Mine only updated on the day of the interview, last May 22 and May 24 and until now nothing, still says 'ready' for interview  We already sent an email to the embassy but they said it takes 3-5 business days to get a reply. CO told my fiance that he is approved and he even confirmed this by asking again. I don't know why they are taking so long or if this is normal at all..

Do you think it's much better to have the beneficiary call or it doesn't matter?

Wet signature. However you need to ask your embassy if they accept scanned copy or not. As I know now japan prefers originals. (Unlike uscis and NVC, embassies does not have written rules about these papers)

 

(By the way even if you scan a paper with wet signature that is still called a wet signature. The opposite of a wet signature is an electronic signature. So the question is, if they want original signature or accept scanned copies)

There's a USCIS memo out saying scanned copy of wet signature is fine, however I have yet to talk to someone who used it (I didn't, I used the original). Would be good to hear from someone who successfully used a scanned copy before I say too much. But yes in theory it should work. 

 

Edit: @Naes beat me to it - yes that memo I mentioned is from the USCIS, so like she said it might be different depending on which embassy you go to. Didn't think about that.

Faycher actually asked to the embassy, and they said CO prefers scanned copy unless there’s a reason they cannot provide. I personally used original.
