[httuner 10]

So, Finally we got approved! It is such a relief and I was nervous about it all this morning until my fiancee called me and told me the good news. So I'll try to post up about how her experience was at the Consulate today.

She told me, when she got to her interview, they collected the required documents. DS160 Confirmation Page, I-134 Form along with my supporting documents for my income and insurance statement(6 of my previous paystubs, 2012 Tax transcript(1040A), Letter from my Employer(stating my job, annual salary, start date of work and current status of work) All the notarized documents(Police certificate, Birth Certificate, Certificate of marriageability(basically stating that she is single and able to marry), 2 photos as required, and along with the Medical Report she got from her medical exam.

We had all the notarized documents, notarized and translated from Chinese to English*

And of course they collected her passport. She tried to give them her Resume that we made in Chinese and English, but they told her that they won't be needing it.

The Consulate Officer was pretty nice and greeted her with a smile, He asked:

What's your name?
How did you two meet?
What is your fiance's favorite food? She answered: Hot Pot. than he replys, "You know there is no hot pot in Alaska?" and laughs. She than answers that everytime I come to China I always eat this, so he ask her again if I have any other favorite foods, she tells him she doesn't really know but she knows I like to eat beef a lot. He smiled and went to the next question.
So, you two webcam with each other everyday? She tells him Yes everyday. than he ask another question.
So, have you ever webcam with him when he eats? She answers, yes always. Than he ask another question.

What does he always eat when you webcam with him? She answers, Eggs and rice. the Consulate officer laughs and ask why? She tells him its because he is lazy and don't like to cook so he always cook eggs because its easy and fast.
He laughs again and ask her another question.

Are you part of a communist party? She answers "No" than he asks her, do you know what this question mean? She tells him truthfully that she doesn't know. He laughs and then explains to her in Chinese what it means. She than answers him that she now understands what the question means and that she is not part of a communist party in chinese.

Than the last question was, Do you use any other names? She tells him no.

He smiles and told her shes approved and that to wait 1-2 weeks for her passport to arrive with the visa and the package that she will need when she travels to America and to not open this package when she receives it.

She gets an approval paper and says Thank you and he told her that she may leave.

He never asked to see any other proof of evidence of our relationship, although she had brought hundreds of pages of our chat history, my phone bills that I contacted her in China, all our photos(she made a pretty good album) My original flight tickets and the list goes on..

I am very grateful today, I really want to thank everyone who has helped answer all my questions on here and for all the amazing guides on this website that helped me prepare everything up to this day. So thank you all =] I'm just so excited.

If anyone is wondering about the DS260, once again, we were informed by the consulate on our P3 to submit only Part 1 of the DS230, but to make sure, I did call NVC and they did tell me that I must also submit a DS260 form because the Visa/Consulate Officer will need the DS260 because he/she will access to this form during the interview.

Congratulations httuner! Did they ask the DS260?

cat_lovers, According to my fiancee, they did not request her for the confirmation of the DS260(online form), but like I suggested, you should call NVC and ask them if they require you to submit one. I was told to submit one by the NVC representative because the visa/consulate officer will access the DS260 form that was submitted online during the visa interview. Technically the K1 visa is consider a non-immigrant visa, but they treat it as an immigrant visa.

Call NVC to be on the safe side, because you never know.

and Thank you all =]
