Hi all !!

Thank you very much for answering all my questions and so I was well prepared for my final stage - interview, which took place on June 3rd.

I am still waiting on my visa to be mailed, but fingers crossed I can pick it up this week, staying in Moscow meanwhile.

I have had my medical the day before interview and was able to pick up results the same day, no problem, everything is pretty straight forward once you get to MOM. Google maps were used widely to determine the locations.

I have had my interview at 12:30. No queque was on that day, I had feeling they process only immigrant visas on Friday. Entered the embassy - security check - second floor for fiancees - paid the fee - was called to give the forms (sort out according to list on site in advance, will save you tones of time and be no problem even with your shaking hands)- fingerprints - was asked to sit and wait the turn to be interviewed. The waiting time was long - 2 hours or so. Meanwhile was watching other people having there interview. The brunette CO was handling "I am going to deny you" cases, all four people didnt get the visas though none of them were for K-1. Then there was a girl, who met her SO on odnoklassniki.ru. Her interview was under 10 min - approved ! After there was a girl who met on ElenaModels. That one was tricky, she was interviewd twice and I left not knowing whether she got her visa approved, seems like they gave her pretty hard time.

When my turn came, I was called by blond CO to come. I approached with wide smile and whn she asked how I am doing, I ve said : "I am very happy, we were waiting this day for so long". I think she realised that I was too excited haha. The interview went in english, even though my SO speaks russian. The rest of interview went with the same attitude. She asked me: When we ve met, When we started to be a couple, Whether he has met my parents, What was his occupation.

Then the funny part : I could see the computer she was working on. I was a little bit shocked when I saw facebook page of my fiance open. She went to mine as well and asked whether I had different names too. The matter is I dont disclose my surname on fcbk and use nickname made out of it. I said : No, just due to privacy reasons its differnet. She smiled. On a profile there was picture of me and my SO. She asked how we communicate. I gave her Skype print outs. She also looked through pictures, asking where some of those were made. After about 5 min in total she said : "I am going to approve your visa, you will receive it in a week". Hooraaaay !!!!

None of questions about previous denial of B2 were asked.

I went out of embassy turned right to get my mobile back and this is it

Overall it was easy, everyone was friendly.

Gluck on your journey !!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs:

I seen a post about 3 months ago where the Member was in the Interview and the Consulate went to her Facebook. I was kinda unsure about that. So this is a Second Post that says: They do. Right in front of you. I guess it is Common. It helped though... Congrats

That's only if you allow any and everyone to see your facebook page. I have a facebook page but use it primarily to keep in contact with family and old friends. Those I have friended can see my page and contents like pictures, etc. Not friends of friends. Besides, you can easily forge a facebook page. For exaample, I could create a face book page for my ex wife. I have all the info to do it. So I could put on there all kinds of stuff about her that is untrue and open her page to everyone and with her real name cuz she doesn't have a facebook page already. So if she were petitioning for K-1 for someone and the USCIS looked at her facebook page (doubt it) and saw on thier that she is married and already petitioning another K-1 under another name (which I falsly add on there) then they would deny her based on her facebook page she didn't create or knew nothing about? I don't believe that.

Besides, I have nothing on my facebook page that needs hiding. Its all about my daughter and my fiancee and my trips to see her, etc. Some very boring exchanges between me and my family members. Some silly stuff between old friends. Nothing anyone besides me would be interested in, least of all USCIS. Trust me.

good for you

Nobody can see my page either cause of privacy settings, but they can find account anyways and see at least 2 things : your profile pic and the name. Simple fact to share : they do check social networks
