The K-1 Visa Guide, The K-1 Process Chart, and K-1 Visa Tips will address a lot of your concerns. The K-faqs (which is accessible under the K-1 Process Flow Chart link) is pretty useful too.

I'm not too sure about what you heard from your friend. I wonder if he/she is speaking more along the lines of a tourist visa....
If all is legit and your paperwork is in order you should both be fine. We all tend to worry I guess.

My appointment letter was in english and the rest of the packet (forms, medical exam instructions, etc) was in spanish. The packet they sent to my fiance (U.S. Citizen) was all in english.

About what this person said that it takes 3 times to get a visa, I think it's just his guess. If you meet all the requirements there is no reason for a denial.

I don't think it applies to tourist visas either, if you meet all the requirements the first time, you get it the first time you apply for it.

The packet the Embassy sent my wife in Colombia was Spanish.

However, I have yet to receive an English version myself.

All of the packets we received once our paperwork went to El Salvador was in Spanish. We never got anything in English. Having said that, packet 4 directed us to a website which had both English and Spanish versions as do many of the forms for packet 3.

I was in the Peace Corps in El Salvador and during our training a guy from the department of State came to speak to us. He said that something like 98% of first time tourist visa applicants are denied in El Salvador. That isn't to say that the same person with the same qualifications gets denied and then has to keep trying, it is just that they are really strict on their requirements and tons of people who don't meet them apply. Having said that, for the K visa, as long as you have everything you need you shouldn't have a problem.

Same is true for Peru with tourist Visas. Denied Denied Denied...Maybe if your lucky (and prove strong enough ties, which is the hard part) and approval. But K-1's a different. No real reason to prove ties to return, haha. With a legit relationship most are approvals.
