Well I mailed all the documents for my fiancees interview last Monday by USPS. They charged $68 for 5-8 day delivery. It finally arrived yesterday..two days before the interview. No kidding, I was sweating it!!!! So, in 7 hours my fiancee will go for his interview!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Pretty sure I am not going to be able to sleep tonight.
Can't believe after all this time, it is finally happening. It seemed as if this day would never come...but IT DID!! I know it is easy for me to say now, but for all of you still waiting..hang in there. IT WILL HAPPEN! Nothing good every comes easy and it will all be worth it in the end. And don't forget that all of us are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers too!
Sending love today!!!!

I hired an attorney to handle our VISA procedures as I a was afraid I would miss something. I have been very pleased with him so far. It actually isn't a that hard a process but there is a lot involved. Missing one thing could delay you by weeks if not months. I didn't want to take that chance. After I got all the information he requested, he sent it ALL within a couple of days. It costs a little more, but the peace of mind was worth it for us.
I will tell the reason I chose him over other attorneys. First, I am in Afghanistan right now working with the military. My attorney allows me and/or my fiancee (who is in Macedonia) to Skype with him for any meetings or questions that may come up. That is SO convenient for all of us. Second, and most importantly, he did not make me pay the entire fee up front. He allows me to pay by the month. He said "I feel it is less stress on my clients financially. Not to mention that if you stop paying, I stop working. And if I stop working...YOU stop paying. It is only fair".
I hired him right away!

What is point of going through this ridiculously long process, detailed documents and intimidating interview for ONE guy at the airport to decide in 10 minutes you are lying. It is almost as of the VISA is useless. Something in this system definitely broken.
I am so sorry this happened to you! Not only does it kind of anger me, but worries me too. Please let us know how you resolve this...if you do. It would be helpful to give advice to those planning to enter on K-1 so they are prepared. Good luck to you!

I am sure no one was intentionally trying to be rude. I think maybe they have just never heard of this happening before. This is a quote directly from the U.S State Department Website:
Nonimmigrant Visa for a Fiancé(e) (K-1): A visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to the U.S. port-of-entry and request permission to enter the United States. You should be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials have authority to permit or deny admission to the U.S. Upon arrival at the port-of-entry, be prepared to present to the CBP officer your passport with visa and your unopened/sealed packet containing your documents. Travelers should review important information about admissions and entry requirements on the CBP website under Travel.
So yes...it is possible and apparently DOES happen. This is actually not the first time I have heard of this. Of course the good question is WHY and how do you fix it. I agree that you should contact an attorney that has had experience with this and knows the laws. Some will charge for consulation and some will not. At this point, you just need advice as to your next step.
I AM wondering if it wasn't the language barrier. I have found that some countries don't know the word "fiancee". My fiancee refers to me as his wife all the time when we are in Macedonia. ( I will need to relay your story before he gets to POE though!) I had to explain to him what fiancee was. And when I was going through passport control at Skopje...I told them I was visiting my fiancee. There officers there had no idea what I was tailing about. "Future Husband" is what got me in.
