During the visa interview for K1, does the visa officer see what you sent in your I-129f package like the bonafide relationship evidence or only the DS-160?

The CO has access to the entire case.  After all, the Consulate Officer is the sole approval authority for visas.

He sees every single thing you sent in right from the start.

If you assume everything you do not want them to know and nothing you do you cannot go too far wrong

I Had mine two days ago. You are standing in a booth and see the officer through a glass with some space where to pass documents. Your DS 160 has already been seen by every other officer but this last one will still ask for it.

 

he will also ask you in order for many documents such as the tax red turn, police certificate ètc. 
 

i was there with a large bunch of documents but he asked for a fraction of what was in the list.

 

i was then directed to sit and wait for another officer.

after a while I saw her, and she again asked me for documents, told me that I was supposed to being my fiancée’s documents too, which I didn’t know (divorce in original) and asked me for my original police certificate, of which I only had a certified copy, which she refused.

 

i am pretty sure they saw all they wanted at different stages. Also, there is no point in arguing with them that ‘the letter said this, or the website said that’, as they are not interested. I brought lots more proof of income just in case but it was not needed.
