Approved <3
I just want to say thank you to everyone! Thank you for answering my questions and taking time to read on my posts. It’s been a tough wait from application to approval. I remember to be checking this app on a regular basis for any updates and to somehow lessen the anxiety of waiting.
I came in on an ESTA and it was an unplanned thing to stay in the US to get married. I thought I was making a mistake because I read so many posts that it might be risky but with all the travel bans, we just gambled anyway. I personally didn’t expect that it will only take around 4-5 months for our case to be approved. It went quicker than expected. It was difficult having no work during the wait because I was used to working a lot. I spent the months exercising, reading and watching movies. I guess you just need to be patient and do what you can control. I guess God works in mysterious ways that the experience taught me to trust the process and be patient. After everything, we are very grateful about the outcome.
I hope you will have yours too soon! Do not lose hope. Let’s pray for it. God bless everyone.

Interview wait times
Just got my O1 approved today. can anyone shed some light on the process after this. Official letter not received yet. I am in Australia and the Sydney consulate shows 180 days wait time for appointment (all other non immigrant visas other than student and tourist). So would I have to wait 6 months? or O1 category could also possibly have lesser wait times? Also if the consulate is closed due to Covid will I have to wait for it to resume operations to schedule an interview?
129F Approved
finally got through that step, can anyone that is familiar with Manila embassy why most 129Fs seem to take 2 to 4 months from consulate receipt to final interview while a good portion (maybe around 30% to 40%) take about 1.5 years? I did a search on visa journey and there are more that only spend a few months at Embassy (recently) but there a a lot of cases that go over a year and I just don’t see why. Since the majority seem to get through in 2 to 4 months it can’t be from expedited so how do some folks get caught with such a long delay?
