Timeline

I sent in my K1 visa on March 16th and they received it on March 18th. I just looked online and saw it was approved 5 days ago, which means it only took 27 days from when they got it to when it was approved. Has anyone ever seen it done this fast before? Or am I jumping the gun here? I attached a picture of my approval. Someone pinch me and tell me I'm dreaming!

Yes, have definitely seen it before. Mine was years ago, but was 23 days at Vermont. Sometimes people get approved quickly. It happens. No one is certain why some get approved so quickly out of the blue, seemingly each year, but enjoy your luck of the draw. Congrats.
