I posted something in the K3 section today, and in my euphoria, got the dates wrong. Instead of 4 months, it actually took 3 months from sending the I-129f to that petition being approved. (The entire journey has been 4 months, if you count the I-130.)

So here's the good news for everyone. Even with IMBRA, the 2 RFEs, the backlogs, the transfers, the angst and the antidepressents, the K3 may still be The Fast Lane. With any luck, I may be asking directions in hopeless French in November. (Ou est l'embassy Americain?) And with even better luck, I'll be eternally grateful this Thanksgiving, which as all Canadians know, comes a month after Halloween down here.
