K-1 Mumbai approved!

[Mel and Rudy 2]

Our K-1 petition got approved!

I have no words to describe how I am feeling after successfully completing this hellish journey!

Many thanks to the CO who approved us. I know nothing about her but I pray the universe will keep her happy! She said among all the applicants I was the only person who convinced her 100%!

Some details.

Petitioner: Female, age 33 years old, white, never married, no kids.

Applicant: Indian, 24 years old, never married.

Met online. 20 months ago. Petitioner was present outside the consulate but the CO said it is not necessary to talk to her. Including present meeting, we have met 4 times each time for 7 days.

CO did not look at ANY of the evidence. She was busy with her paper work while I speed-talked for 10 mins (Proly due to my nervousness, I was nerve-wrackingly nervous!)

She was a very sweet woman in her forties. She also approved my friend who is also a K-1 interracial case although his engagement photos were put under the scanner. (No age difference with him and they met at work not online)

2 other girls who looked like CR1 cases were also approved judging by the smiles on their faces. One girl was proly put on AP cause she looked distraught. Another older guy was distraught too so I guess he was either AP or denied.

My advice to other K-1 applicants, try not to bullshit the CO. They seem to know what they are doing and they seem to appreciate honesty. Be honest and give out all information even if you think it might go against you. I did. My parents are not happy with our marriage and I disclosed the same to the CO and we haven't held an engagement ceremony either.

I also revealed other information which I would think would have gone against me but in the end the CO was completely satisfied.

They interview hundreds of people every week and they really don't wanna mess with you for the heck of it.

All the best to everybody else out there patiently waiting for the interviews!

Live long and prosper!

Congratulations on your success. Praying my fiance has similar good fortune this Tuesday!

Do you happen to remember what questions were asked? We're reviewing our last bits of evidence and such. After 2.5 years together we're pretty confident, but reading some of the reviews, especially regarding interracial engagements and K-1 visa, had gotten us a bit nervous.

Thanks and Enjoy,

Erik

She asked me about how the courtship progressed apart from all the regular questions like name and how we met and how long we've been together.

I can not stress this enough as this is what worked in my case despite of all the red flags, be yourself, be honest, tell them what you've been through and why you need this visa so bad and I don't think they should deny the visa if your case is genuine.

Contrary to what I used to think they're human and they understand human emotions.

All the best
