Yesterday we had our interview, and we were approved. We spent most of the time waiting around as the lady that we saw first that took all our documents put our case under a different number, and then when we went up for the actual interview part the "error" was discovered and so then we had to wait for them to fix that, which felt like it took soooo much time. But when we went up the second time we were asked hardly anything it seemed, and then she handed me the little slip of paper that said that we were approved. I was so so so so happy! Now to organise moving!

We got approved for K1 Visa!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much everyone for your support!!!!!!

Wooohoooooo I WAS APPROVED!!
Whole interview time took 20 mins in total from standing in line till exiting the door. They were so nice! I will post an embassy review tonight. It was strange, they didn't take my 2 new letters of intent, relationship evidence or registered mail envelope. I spent 8 months collecting relationship evidence (85 pages) and had it all neatly sorted and tabbed, but oh well.. I almost asked the AO if he wanted to see my evidence anyway, just to appreciate the work I put into it It's like buying an expensive train ticket and not getting checked..
I'll get my passport back in 5 working days And to celebrate I just booked my flight. 12th of October I am out of here!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you! I am indeed pretty much done, I think I'll sleep much better now.. Good luck to you too going forward, hope all goes smoothly! I bet you'll have your interview soon.
Thank you! And good luck to your fiance for tomorrow! Let us know how it goes So exciting!!

Hi guys !! Today after 227 days my visa was approved !!! I feel so happy and blessed. Can't wait to marry my guy and start a family with him.

OMG My fiancée just got the text at 8:06 and he checked status we got APPROVED!!!!!!!!! It feels liks a dream come true. I was just feel so sad two hours ago. (((

We filed January 31st, have the interview on March 26th, got 221g'd for something that took a LONG TIME to acquire, but it all worked out. She's catching a flight soon.
Best of luck to anyone still waiting, maybe we'll all be approved, and POE'd soon.

Yay! Have my fingers crossed for you, exciting!

There's a light at the end of the tunnel!!
Just had confirmation we are out of security checks....after two months of them!

After a lot of thought and consideration, I have reached the difficult decision that the time has come for me to step down as a moderator for Visa Journey. I have therefore asked Captain Ewok to return my status to 'regular member' effective Saturday, September 6th.
I have been a moderator on Visa Journey now since 2009 – 5 years – and these last few years as Lead Moderator. I have enjoyed the responsibility and the involvement, and I believe - I hope - that I have made a positive contribution to the site. I have appreciated the opportunity to give back to the VJ community in this important way for its help on my own now long-completed Visa Journey, and thank Captain Ewok for entrusting me with this great responsibility.
I am pleased to announce that Penguin_ie will assume the responsibilities as the new Lead Moderator. She is already an experienced and well-respected Global Moderator for Visa Journey, and I know she will be an excellent Lead Moderator. She has my utmost respect and complete confidence, and I am reassured knowing that I leave this post in such good hands.
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for all of your support and assistance to me and to the Moderation Team over these last years. You are all part of why Visa Journey is such a valuable resource and instrumental in the successful completion of so many of our own individual Visa Journeys. While I won't be a member of the Moderation Team any longer, I will still be a member of Visa Journey, and you will continue to see me participating in the forums and contributing to the site - just now it will be from the other side of the Report Button .
We have a great Moderation Team in place and I am definitely going to miss being a part of that team. It has been my pleasure to work with each and every one of them, and I will continue to do what I can to support them in their hard - and often thankless - jobs. I know how hard they work and how conscientiously they each take their responsibilities, so I offer to them as well, my gratitude and my appreciation for their hard work, their support and their friendship. You are the greatest!
So, see you all around the forums !

Interview on Wednesday...I'm thinking 2 more weeks till he's here

My fiancee passed her interview in Mumbai, India and got her K1! I am super excited. I will finally be able to see her after a long 9 months.
I wish everyone here the best.

Thank you AlissaCarly , and congratulations on your interview! that's fantastic news!! Best of luck :-)

Wow, I got my interview date yesterday! It's really going fast now compared to waiting for NOA2! The Amsterdam consulate is excellent Two days after they logged in my case I got Packet 3, three days after they received my returned Packet 3 I got Packet 4 and my interview date is 16 September already. A little more than 3 weeks!! I was expecting 5-6 weeks till interview, bit shellshocked now

That's great...good luck!!
