You will be fine, Don't worry about it.

I have had the advantage of meeting many Consular Officers during my lengthy US Government employment, overseas. I have learned some inside information, which I will share with you.

Consular Officer's have a primary mission, among other things, validating Visa petitions. They are people, with subjective opinions, like anyone else.

You know your SO, you know his/her life history and you know the detail of your meeting and continued relationship. That is the crux of the questions, period.

Point of clarification: Everyone on this site says "Consulate". That is misleading information.

Capital City = Embassy

Other Major City= Consulate

"Consular section" = The department within an Embassy or Consulate, that deals with Visa issues.

Having been to over 60 countries myself, this is factual information, not speculation.

Anyway, Best wishes for a quick reunion with your SO.

Thanks! yes you are right. I shouldnt worry too much because i know my relationship with my fiance more than anyone else, and it is genuine. I guess it's more of the fear of the unknown i am feeling right now. At least you've pointed out to me and reminded me that, yes, they are just people no more no less It's nice that you've already been to over 60 countries, many (such as I am) dream to travel around the world but never had the opportunity...................... YET;) Since I am still young, it's not too late to fulfill it. As what they always say, "if you don't have a dream, you will never have a dream come true" have a nice day!

Like they all said, just relax, you'll do wonderful! Maybe have your fiance run through practice interviews with you? Make up a list of questions about him and have him quiz you, and tell you if you give the right answer.

This should help:

Ah, the Embassy Consular Officer questions.

They will attempt to validate the relationship, by asking key information about you, through your Fiance.

Questions vary, but she should be aware of significant details about your life, your work and your past.

Those items that were documented in the forms.

It is all an attempt to verify that she knows you. Don't stress over this, review with her, key facts such as:

Where you work

If you have children from a previous marriage, their names and ages.

Where you were born and grew up

How you met and where

And so forth.

How do I know this, reading here, and talking to people in the Embassies where I worked overseas. I was not Consular staff though. Otherwise, I would not ask questions here.

Good luck and have educational conversations with your Fiance, to ensure she is fully cognizant of your details.

Then when the interview rolls around the answers to all those questions will be fresh in your memory.
