HI all Matthew here.

 

I just need to shout and vent and be happy and excited here. haha

So i had my K1 visa interview at the Johannesburg Embassy on Thursday the 18th of October. Friday the 19th at around 1pm i received an email from the US Consulate that my visa was released and is on its way.

Today is Sunday the 21st October and at 12:30pm DHL arrived at my house with my visa. 😄

 

I am so incredibly excited and so outstandingly amazed at how fast that was.

Anyways just wanted to let the community know.\

 

Peace and good luck to everyone still in the processes.

thank you for this post.   We will be coming from Mozambique and it makes me crazy to think of sitting in a hotel just waiting for the passport to come back.
