Finally after 310 days my husband passed the interview.

He went for K-3 interview and asked for CR-1.

Documents were there, but still in the container.

They asked him to wait a couple of hours outside and set up interview for next Morning.

August 5th my husband went to US Embassy again at 6AM, came in at 8AM, was a first in line.

At 2PM he sent me text on my cell that his visa was approved.

We waited such a long time that I don't have the energy to be happy just yet. I don't have interview details yet, but I will share them once I have them.

Thank you all for your words of advice. This website has been tremendously helpful to me.
