[icv21 110]

Dear IRIScv , you don't have to apologize or explain anything to others. Don't feel guilty in front of haters. Everybody has their own path, own circumstances, own luck and own life. Be happy!

I know it just bothers me people judge so fast without knowing the circumstances. I just shared my interview experience but so much happened before it. We are happy with the result ,I really appreciate your words thanks so much again!!! I hope your visa comes by very fast and you or your spouse can come here soon too.

Now time for me to learn to drive and finally start life my husband arrived December 31st after 3 months gone and is leaving at the beggining of March for work again so we have to hurry and fix eveything before he is gone again, my family is coming this summer for the first time here to visit. Lots of exciting things coming thanks and I wish you good luck!!!

My feelings exactly! To believe they had no intention of getting married before she entered th US is a complete joke.

Why they allow this loophole to exist makes no sense.

Might as well have the law state ESTA eligible countries are exempt from K1 requirements.

Yes, they should exempt ESTA countries from K1 requirements. To think that someone comes from an ESTA country to have a better life in the US is a complete joke.

Congrats Iris!!

we had our interview yesterday and were Approved!!!!

Our appointment was at 9:45 we arrived around 9:40, After waiting for more than 2 hours in a FREEZING waiting room the IO called our number.

He was the nicest man, very professional and friendly.

Our interview last less than 10 minutes. He makes us swear we were saying the truth.. Then asked for documentation my husband gave him his DL and I gave him my EAD.

He asked if we still live in the same address... If the signature from 1 document was from my husband... Asked if I had a job I said no, I just got my SSC a week ago and I still need to learn to drive.. And my husband said that's the next step and they both laughed. Then asked about my husband's job and talked for a little bit about it and random experiences.

He Asked me what date we got married. And if I went to honey moon I said not my husband said we are still saving money for the real thing, ceremony and honey moon and then the IO made a funny comment about his honey moon with his wife lol.

He asked for the most recent bank statement my I-94 and if I had pictures, he looked at all the pictures and asked where a couple of pictures where taken and said ok I will approve you 2 right now.. And talked about ROC a bit said God bless you and joked about my folder being organized and after that I dropped the folder and we have to pick up the documents Hahah

He didn't make us feel nervous or uncomfortable at all.

We were just getting out the elevator when my husband got 2 text messages from uscis saying the card is in production so happy!!

There was a point I was so nervous while waiting because everbody else was called in but not us I started thinking what could be wrong if it was because I didn't come with a K-1... but then it was sooooo easy, he didn't need to look at any other of my documents or asked about anything else.

we have been together fr almost 6 years so my husband said it was a easy case for him he seemed to have his mind made up before seeing us.

THANKS for all the help in the forum and good luck everybody else

Reading threads like this makes me wonder why the K1 and IR1 visa even exist if it is so easy to cut in line and adjust from an ESTA.

Not everyone qualifies for VWP privileges and many can't get a B-visa to come to the US. Besides VWP/B visas should not justify circumventing the existing immigration laws deliberately but there are accommodations for exceptions, as is the case here.

However, we can all wish good luck and happiness to the OP in her journey.

Reading threads like this makes me wonder why the K1 and IR1 visa even exist if it is so easy to cut in line and adjust from an ESTA.

What matters is that the OP was approved and is happy. What does your comment add to this thread? Are you jealous?
