I just got off the phone with my husband and have some AMAZINGLY good news He just called the Embassy and found out that petitioners applying for their K visas they don't submit their papers and wait for an appointment date. Their paperwork is reviewed the same day. I am so excited to hear this.

First of all, I can't believe that the process might be finished so quickly. Second, we were both hoping that Sultan would be in the states by July. And sure enough it looks like that's a realistic possibility. If there is anyone here who's dealt with the Embassy in Addis Ababa, please give me your thoughts. Is this correct??

I can't believe it. Thank God my husband will finally be here!!!
