Applied in June, she just had her visa interview tonight and it was approved. 3.5 months from the date application was mailed until approval. It would have been even quicker but the interview appointment slots were full and she had to wait a month. At the time of filing we were told it would take a year or more. It was taking two+ years during COVID.
I'm assuming they're trying to import votes and this has nothing to do with efficiency. Or it was a miracle 🙏
I have a cousin who has an Iranian fiance that just started that process to get him over here too...initial thought was no way in hell, or it's gonna take forever at the very least. Nope...been completely fast tracked.
I feel sorry for the Iranian people who are largely good people, and have a shit Government.
