Brahim and I met when I was volunteering in Morocco in 2006. He was in the US on a J-1 in 2007 and we went through a lot to get the home-residency rule waived (best advice: don't listen to people who say that it's impossible to get a J-1 waiver!). We were finally able to apply for the K-1 in 2008, and things have gone much faster since then. It's been a very long process, but we can finally see the light! Inshallah, we will be together soon.
No, it wasn't issued today. He was told "Congratulations" several times and given the paper which said he was in the 221 Admin proc and also saying he had to provide the translations. They told him they would call him.
