K-1 Visa approved while I was in Ukraine

Don't know if this is the correct forum to post.

Had our visa interview and medical on Tuesday and Monday respectively.

The Medical took a while - we got to the clinic around 11 am, and Valya had to go to several places in the clinic to draw blood, get x-ray and physical exam. After about 3 hours we were done. Went to get some lunch and also to find a Pro Credit Bank to pay for the visa fee for the interview the next day. Got back to the clinic by around 3:45 and got our x-ray and sealed medical.

Next day showed up at 9:15 with all our paperwork in hand. Cut in front of the line by showing my US Passport at the Embassy. Waited in the waiting room after submitting our paperwork, then 20 minutes later Val got fingerprinted. About 1-1/2 hours later she was called to the interview, I went with her and after 5-10 minutes of discussion about how we met etc we were approved! Went out, had a very nice lunch, walked the city then went to our friends flat (we made good friends with a nice couple who live in Kiev, who insisted we stay with them for the weekend and the interview) where we had a quick dinner before we had to catch the train back to Kherson.

Blake and Olha, they tell me that it should be delivered in 10 days, you make arrangements in the Pavilion outside with Fedex. My fiancee's best friend is in the US on a K-1 and she got it 8 days after her interview in Kyiv. I'll post when I get it but I don't think it'll be any time frame out of the ordinary.
