My guy gave me a wake-up call at 6:05 am, after my two alarms have gone off. I was at the gate at 7:30 (had planned for traffic jam but there was none). There were just two K1-s today, a young girl from Turkmenistan who was shaking with fear, and myself totally calm and barely awake. Documents were picked up by a Russian guy in the first window. He wondered why I didn't bring my fiance's tax returns but I told him that the pay stubs and letter from employer should be enough.
We set to wait, and I kept joking to cheer up the poor Turkmen. Then after some waiting I was called to the second window. A lady CO asked me about how Jeff and I had met, about his job(s) in much detail, about my previous stays in the US, whether we had any previous marriages or kids. She also asked to see the most recent photos together. Then she said "well, I think your K1 is approved, you'll receive visa in a week!" And that's it. No emails or phone transcripts were required.
I walked out, picked up my stuff from the security window and waited a bit for that scared Turkmen girl to see how she fared. She issued from the embassy shortly with a big grin on her face.
Then, relieved, I went to have a big cappuchino in the nearest coffee place. It's OVER!
