One "sour grapes" post removed; two posts quoting it are returned to the thread as follows, minus the removed material:

I've just never heard of a case in any country being processed so quickly. It's would be nice if the member could fill out the timeline.

Someone was ungracious, if not rude -- no place for that on VisaJourney. I came upon it by chance and didn't want to see it wreck your happy thread. Congratulations, by the way! :)

Thanks!! You know, people are so worried about an extra couple of months of waiting time they dont even take a minute to consider other peoples stories. We may of gotten our K1 super quickly but we have waited 7 years for it due to DOMA. I would love to hear some of the posters if they were told it was illegal for them to be with the one they love and they just had to wait until the USA government decided their fate!

Its not a 75 day NOA2, Its 75 days till I got my actual visa.

To be honest I don't care about people waiting at TSC.

You are all so incredibly selfish that you have turned visa journey into a bitter and mean place to be. No one knows or can judge another's situation and you all hear this quick approval and feel so bad for yourselves. Well, we have been waiting for 7 years. I am gay and until last year it was not legal for me and thousands of others to get thus visa. 7 YEARS. Its a little bit linger than the 7 months your complaining about. You chose to enter into a long distance relationship so deal with it. I cannot believe all of you horrible people would come on this happy thread and judge and make it all about your own pity.

Please don't think those negative posts are a reflection of the rest of VJ, I for one am truly happy for you that you received an approval today, regardless of the wait time for others, 7 years is long enough and everyone here has their own story.

The injustice STILL happening here in Australia that same sex couples cannot be married makes me angry. I have many friends here who want to be married but have not got the right to because of the government here.

Congrats again lilsadie, I hope you can get to the U.S. and be married soon! :)
