Turns out the software is hella limited on their end and they added a space after my last name to meet the 5 character minimum count for surname.

I have no idea what on earth is going on with my application, does anyone have a timeline on how long after its been approved it'll ship out?
After approved generally the next working day or 2 it turns “Issued” and then the next day they send you tracking info.
Yeah not sure whats with my ping pong status updates though... Everyone else's seems to be relatively smooth sailing, but bouncing back between application received and approved is weird to me, and couple that with the administrative processing, now that's weird.

No, I paid the fees and submitted the application on OCT 3,2023
Received email instruction next day ( even though they said it might take 5 weeks for consular authorization to mail the documents)
Wow amazing and congrats. Mine is exactly similar but no movement after the package was picked up on the 11th.
Were there any updates on the USVisa-info.com website for you?
Thank you. No they dont update anything in that website; I checked the Visa status in https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx
Thanks for the response. I just checked and it shows the below.
Your case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. If you have already had your interview, please check your status after two business days.

Does this mean, I need to schedule and attend the interview. Did you see the above statement when you checked?

My 4yr old daughter was not eligible for dropbox and have visa interview scheduled on Dec 8th at Toronto. I am checking everyday to reschedule but no dates available. We need to wait for 2 more months to get her visa stamped. Has anyone expedited Visa interview for H4 with this kind of reason?
