The lady didn't even know what a k1 visa was! My fiancee had to tell her about it and then she went to ask another officer and realized that my fiancee was RIGHT. |

| Embassy Review : |
At the interview everything was really easy! We never thought it will be so EASY! I went together with my fiance at the interview. First they called us to give them all the papers : *(Completed forms we received from the embasssy,Affidavit of support,Pictures,Police certificate,Passport,Birth certificate,Proof of our relationship(pictures,emails,yahoo convos,letters,airline tickets,receipts we had.)Copy of passport, Copy of the birth certificate, also the medical envelope.
Then after we had to wait about an hour and we were called for the interview. The questions were simple.***
When did we first meet(online and in real)?
When did your fiancee come to visit you? How many times?
Do you work?
Do you stay with your parents?
Have you ever been married?
Do you have any children?
How old are you?
Then they asked my fiance a few questions also since she was next to me.
How old are you?
Do you work?
Where do you plan on going to college?(I'm only 19).
Do you have any children?
I think thats about it 
Then she said EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD I'M GOING TO CHECK IF I CAN PRINT OUT THE VISA TODAY.
Then we had to wait and we were called after 15 minutes or so again.. they gave us the visa + all our papers back + an envelope where they put the medical papers+forms we filled out.(She said to show that at the airport in USA).
Thats about it! 
Oh everyone please go for the medical 2 days before the interview!!!! Its very important because they don't give you the results the same day!
Also call at the embassy one day before the interview and ask if you can go for your finger prints that day.Call between 8 am and 12 pm. Thats how we went.
Good luck everyone!!!! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
