I'm extremely grateful because I've already acquired the US visa! I submitted my application here in Rome, fully aware of the challenges associated with getting approved when applying from a country where one does not reside. In fact, the person ahead of me in the interview was rejected. When it came to me, the interview was quick and easy. And the consular officer is also a scholar of religion like me! I'm thankful to the Lord and for your tremendous help, Tata! You know that. Praying for more blessings, especially as I research and write my dissertation.
