K1 Fiancé Interview: Tuesday 10th September 2013, 8AM
**Bit of background info**
- I’m of Indian origin but British Citizen (the only passport I have had)
- I was born in India but only lived there a few years as a toddler/kid
- We were repeatedly told by many VJ’ers that we would go into AP for at least a month or more. So we prepared for the worst…but no need as we were approved and issued the visa within 10 days!
Now onto the interview…
Got there at 7.20, in queue for security for about 10-15 mins and in through the waiting area about 7.40 (they took my watch etc. so I had to check the TV for times)
I was the third in line for Immigrant visa so not too much of a wait.
Got called up to Window 1 (there are 16 window I think); the lady asked for my passport, photos, birth cert, police cert, support forms. I gave her the affidavit, and the employer letter - that’s all she wanted and waved the other proof of income away. All in all took 10mins. I was very nervous and fumbling around despite preparing my docs in orderly fashion!
The lady told me to go back to the waiting area for the second interview and it was now around 8.30 or so.
My number gets called again about 40-50mins later, and I go up. The guy is American, young and seems nice. He goes through our petition file for about a min (think he’s forming questions in his head) puts me under oath, I agree:
1. He asks me when we met
2. Was it arranged?
3. When was your next meeting?
He tried to confuse me by asking me the same question but saying ‘OK so you met at XXX’ and I was like er no..wait..no we met on XXX.
5. When did you see sparks flying/how did you know?
7. Where will you get married?
8. Have your parents met?
9. What does your fiancé do?
10. Spell his company name.
11. How often do you talk to him?
Office shuffles through papers, says ‘You’re approved! Congratulations, you’ll get your visa in a week or so! Have a nice new life in the States!’
I couldn’t and didn’t believe him. I was still looking for that blue slip on his desk…but no blue slip and no issues! I’m approved Walked around in a daze and back to the office!
All in all went very smoothly, was the easiest part of the process so far!
So now onto CEAC + visa delivery:
Our status update and case creation date changed on 12-Sept-2013 to ‘READY’
Next was ‘AP’ from 12-Sept-2013 until 16-Sept-2013
Finally ‘ISSUED’ on 16-Sept-2013
Got an email with a tracking number on 18-Sept-2013
Picked up at nearest depot 19-Sept-2013 and have it in hand!
Today is a good day  Good luck all!

Very easy.
Joined the visitors queue, got to the CO, told him I had a K1 visa. He asked for packet. He then took me to a seperate waiting room to another CO, the new guy filled out my details on his comp using the package details.
Waited about 15-20 mins for him to do this. Hands me my passport - done! As easy as that, no hassles, no worries.
Nice end to the K1 visa! |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
