Hello every one!!

After a year of going through this process, my K1 VISA was approved today at the consulate!

I am so ecstatic it's insane!! The consulate officer was really nice and made jokes during the interview. He said that my case was the most solid that he had this week. He was happy that my case wasn't complicated and the interview only lasted 5-10 minutes. The security screening and waiting in the room was way longer (probably 15-30 minutes).

FYI, you only need 2 pictures at the Montreal Consulate. AND you definitely need W2 AND form 1040 as proof that you meet income requirements. He didn't look at my fiance's bank statement or any other financial assets that he has.

All you need to do is be concise and be ready to answer any question truthfully and you will be approved on the spot.

Maybe because I am from Canada, and it's a low fraud country, that it went smoothly. Not sure for other countries.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! Be patient and everything will be OK.
