Our K-1 petition got approved!
I have no words to describe how I am feeling after successfully completing this hellish journey!
Many thanks to the CO who approved us. I know nothing about her but I pray the universe will keep her happy! She said among all the applicants I was the only person who convinced her 100%!
Some details.
Petitioner: Female, age 33 years old, white, never married, no kids.
Applicant: Indian, 24 years old, never married.
Met online. 20 months ago. Petitioner was present outside the consulate but the CO said it is not necessary to talk to her. Including present meeting, we have met 4 times each time for 7 days.
CO did not look at ANY of the evidence. She was busy with her paper work while I speed-talked for 10 mins (Proly due to my nervousness, I was nerve-wrackingly nervous!)
She was a very sweet woman in her forties. She also approved my friend who is also a K-1 interracial case although his engagement photos were put under the scanner. (No age difference with him and they met at work not online)
2 other girls who looked like CR1 cases were also approved judging by the smiles on their faces. One girl was proly put on AP cause she looked distraught. Another older guy was distraught too so I guess he was either AP or denied.
My advice to other K-1 applicants, try not to bullshit the CO. They seem to know what they are doing and they seem to appreciate honesty. Be honest and give out all information even if you think it might go against you. I did. My parents are not happy with our marriage and I disclosed the same to the CO and we haven't held an engagement ceremony either.
I also revealed other information which I would think would have gone against me but in the end the CO was completely satisfied.
They interview hundreds of people every week and they really don't wanna mess with you for the heck of it.
All the best to everybody else out there patiently waiting for the interviews!
Live long and prosper!

I have friends who are employers who use Craigslist. They use it primarily for entry level or low level positions since it's not necessarily cost effective to advertise on the others for those positions. Whether you are using it or any site to find a job caution is advised. If it sounds to good to be true, then it is. If they require a fee or confidential data upfront, run...
Thanks and Enjoy,

Its always comforting to hear from people with similar situations but I have found that everyones journey is a little bit different. It may be time to take charge and try to get an answer from NCSC about your case number coming up nil. Ask to speak to a tier 2 ISO and don't hang up until you are satisfied. Even then be sure to document the call and record the persons name.
Good luck and let us know what happens!
