@Akshay Tailor it was super quick

@Akshay Tailor well ur approval may b quick but the wait time remains the same, our PD is June 2014 & we r still waiting for approval, the longer the wait time for approval the better as it will protect ur kids from aging out if you have kids....

@neeta patel check visa bulletin, the wait time is long
