CONGRATS!!!!

Good Luck on the rest of your journey

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Congratulations!! I hope you are planning to take the immigrant route rather than the K-3. At least there would be no USCIS dark hole for a while.
