Default Administrative review approval, finally!!

Hi,
I previously posted my story but for a quick recap... I am a
Jordanian ophthalmologist who received training in the states. I was
there for 7 years on a J1 visa, during which I met and married my wife
    :)!
I was subject to the 2 year rule and so had to go back to my home
country of Jordan in April 2002 as a waiver was getting exceptionally
hard if not impossible with my speciality.
I applied in September 2003
for a B1/B2 visa at the Amman/ Jordan consulate to visit my in-laws
for thanksgiving and my visa was put on hold pending administrative
review.
We got finally fed up in January and filed the I130 at VSC and
the I129f for a K3 visa at NBC.
Today I was notified that I have
cleared administrative review and the B1/B2 visa has been granted!! For
a total of 5 months processing time. Guess it could have been worse !!
    :)
So I am thinking probably not to take any risks and come to the
states as I do not want to be denied entry. Will I have to go through
administrative review again for the K3 or IV??

Thanks and hold in
there for everyone undergoing administrative review.... there is light
at the end of the tunnel.
