11th June 2021 - ISSUED!! ❤️  

14 Jun 2021 - Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery.

15 Jun 2021 - The current status of your passport is Origination Scan (If your status shows "origination scan", it means your passport has left the Embassy or Consulate is on its way to the delivery location you have chosen. It is however not available yet for collection).

Just read through this saga.  
 

The lesson learned for others is always provide lots of evidence in the I-129F.  Front load is much more boring than back loading and most want boring.  
 

Congrats.

Hello Mike! Saga indeed. And thank you! I've made sure to convey the lesson I've learned to new filers.

Perfect case. Age gap do not matter when man is older. 

Sorry, age of a guy DOES matter as well,  but depending on how big is the age gap. And that’s one of the red-flags. I went thru this previously...and age between me and my spouse was one of the BIGGIES that nobody in the consulate in India could digest...Not only consular officer but also everyone in Visa section..I think they compare this matter with Indian culture...because in Indian culture there is not much age gap in most couples...There are some, but they are rare...

 

Also, keep it in mind that at least 2-3 other Indian officers at US consulate (in Visa Section) do go over with EVERYTHING on each file as per their assignment ...many times...and make a memoranda for CO...Most of the times (97% of the times) CO reads only the memorandum than the whole file...I am stating this based on my own experience.
