Finally, after 9 of the longest weeks of my life!!!!!

[raven52 233]

Things were going so well for my fiancé from Cebu, and me, until the medical! I had an independent x=ray done before my fiance went to St. Luke's, for the medical..,.,.the first two doctors said, fine, fine and the 3rd said "suspicious" that started the 9 week ordeal of the "sputum" testing, getting the specimen, and then, the "Gosh awful wait, hoping the phone does not ring!

Finally our time came for the results and my fiancé was of course "negative" we now have only her pregnancy test, and immunizations next week April 3. She will then carry the medical results to the interview the next day at 7:00 a.m.! I sure hope none of my fellow VJers, has to ever go through this ridiculous testing,

as when her sputum was put under a microscope after the speciman was gathered for 3 days of testing, it was seen as negative! then 8 and 1/2 weeks more of just waiting, after 6 and a half months of the Vermont service center. I would wish this on no-one!

Now, the interview, her documentation is very good, and she has been thoroughly coached by an expert!

Can anyone tell me if there is a known percentage rate of women of K 1 petitions that are approved.,.is it a number like 80%.,., or something better or worse.,.,we have been through ""heck"".,,.,., now we need this to come to an end! Please, opinions, and comments are asked for, thanks in advance, such a long journey! I hope it never happens to YOU!

I don't know what the percentage of K-1s that pass is for sure but I would guess that it is 100% as long as you have a bonafide relationship and your paperwork is in order. The scary part of your post is that she has been coached. The interview questions are alway easy if your telling the truth and you shouldn't need to be coached if you really know each other.

She was "coached" on what to expect, as far as procedures, what to expect when she gets there, etc,.,. nothing about possible questions.,,.as our documentation speaks for itself.,,..,.I want to thank you for your well worded opinion! God's speed to you if you are in some form of the process..,.,..

There is not a percentage, the embassy will approve every bona fided visa, its the ones they suspect of fraud that they deny.

As long as your Fiancee truly knows you and about you all will be fine, its not complicated. The questions are simple and direct, and about you and your "world".

Wikipedia says 95% were approved in 2009.

I don't think you should practice details of the relationship. Yes that should be natural...

But maybe the details should be gone over. Like the name of the business where i work, names of family members, income, things like that... Things you may not discuss often but may be asked about.

I don't think there is a problem at all with "coaching". To me, this is simply being prepared for the next chapter. Sure, your answers should come natural as in a natural relationship. The thing is, you don't know what they are going to ask so it's a wise idea to go over the possible questions to make sure you and your fiance/e are on the same page. I'm not sure why anyone would see this as a bad idea. Being prepared is not the same as setting up a script! Good luck on the interview!
