Our K1 visa was approved today at the Jo'burg consulate! We are super excited we'll be together for Thanksgiving!!! And it's in no small way thanks to VJ and all VJ'ers who take the time to inform and support each other. Our application took just over 3 months from our NOA1 date to visa approval, and we know that we probably wouldn't have had such a smooth journey were it not for this treasure trove of information. So Thank You all, and all the best to those still waiting. May we all be with our loved ones soon.

That is amazing how fast they are moving! It wasn't that way for us but I am so happy they are finally starting to step and go quickly. :)

However, don't make plans for Thanksgiving just yet. It typically takes 2-3 weeks for the visa issuance; I sincerely hope ya'll are together by then; my fiance is also waiting on his visa and I'm hoping he'll be here very soon but preparing for it to take an extra week or two just because that's how things seem to happen. Hope ya'll get it soon!

Thanks Jeanna. We're very excited, and grateful for the speed with which it all happened. Hopefully it doesn't take that long for visa issuance. Jo'burg usually lets people pick them up the next day, or couriers them within a week or so. They told me to come by tmw, so hopefully I'll have it then so we can book the flight.
