It is Approved!!!!!!!
Because Neeraj is asleep, and he wasn’t feeling well today, I can’t call him up to tell him the good news.
But because you all are like my extended family — here it is for you.
I am just too excited.
This is the second most awaited day in my life (first being our marriage of course
).
Here is the full email that I got 2 minutes ago

Thanks Kaush dear.
Shaadi toh of course apna desh main hi hoga.
It will be in Jaipur aur tere ko pakka aana hai.
No date has been set as we are still waiting on meri nanad to get married.
Milne aanaaa mere ko.
I am waiting to see you.
Haan Manpreete lagta hai sab busy hai.
Thanks Mithlesh.
Thanks Priya dear. Dher sahi par aayi toh sahi.
Thanks for the nice words.
Thanks Gaurav. It should take just about a month for the interview call. If Neeraj passes then he will receive the visa on the next day only.
Thanks so much Tanya.
We are both very excited. Just one more step is left until Neeraj and I will finally be in the same country.
