Good news can be subjective and vary greatly from person to person. For some, good news might be something small, like receiving a good grade in school. For others, it could be something significant, like getting married. Today, I'd like to share a story about some amazing news I received a few months ago. A friend of mine was granted a US visa. She had filed a petition for a US visa years ago, but due to the pandemic, visa processing was delayed. She had been waiting for her petition to be processed for two or three years. About a month ago, she received an email informing her that her visa interview was scheduled for a specific date in Mumbai. She went to the interview, but unfortunately, there were some issues due to missing paperwork, and she didn't receive the visa at that time. However, a few days later, she received another email stating that her passport had been sent to her via courier. The moment she received her passport, she called me. It was evening, and I was at home. When she told me she had received her passport, I was overjoyed. Tears of happiness streamed down my face because I knew this meant she had finally received her visa. Her dream of going to the US had come true. Now, she will be able to pursue her education, achieve success, and reach her goals in life.
