Guys, I'm just popping in to say thank you. You guys have been a wonderful community, and without you, I would have lost my mind countless times in the last 6 months. 

After my interview on Monday, I went back to the embassy yesterday to pick up my visa, and now, I can't stop looking at it as otherwise I probably wouldn't believe that this part of the journey is over. I'm over the moon excited; even more so because we took a gamble and have already planned our whole wedding for mid-June. Now I only need to buy a ticket, and finally, after so many years, my fiancée and I will be together.

Yep the whole process is pretty frustrating but after you hit the 60th day mark you can make a case inquiry. This coming from a tier two agent I spoke with but hopefully you will have notice before then.
