  1. Thanks
    Piggus got a reaction from Adrii in HELLPP! No phone records because we only use FaceTime!!   
    We had the same issue, so I just printed out screenshots of the FaceTime call history of three or four recent calls, which shows the date and how long the call lasted. I doubt this was important as we had plenty of other evidence, but it should be a sufficient replacement for phone records.

    I can't even express how happy and relieved I am right now. Obviously we still have a lot to deal with with regard to AoS, etc, but this was such a weight off our shoulders. Her tourist visa was denied last year, which was an absolutely crushing feeling. So glad things worked out this time.
     
    Wishing all of you good luck as well!

    Thanks! And hope you're enjoying HK! We went there last year for a few days. 
     
    The impression I got was that the interviewer had already mostly made up their mind based on the evidence we submitted in the petition. They never asked for the supporting evidence (photos, chat logs, etc).
     
    The interview only lasted about 5 minutes. I believe the only questions were "tell me about your fiance," and she asked about the denied tourist visa. She also asked, "So the last time you saw your fiance was in Japan?" and my fiancee replied, "No, that was in 2015. We last saw each other in Jakarta." I don't know if the interviewer did that on purpose to ensure Gaby had her story straight, or if she just forgot when our Japan trip was. Regardless, it seems the main thing the interview wanted was for Gaby's answers to match what we had already stated in the petition.
     
    The interview took place in a private room (or booth?), but there was also a glass window. 
     
    By the way, Gaby said the interviewer (an American woman) was extremely friendly, unlike her experience with the tourist visa. She said the people who take/check your documents are a bit rude, but that the interviewer was very nice and commented about us being a really cute couple. So my advice is be prepared (we were waaay overprepared, but that's not a bad thing!) since every case is different and they may ask more questions, but don't be nervous. It ended up being much easier than anticipated.

    Yeeeeah that's about how the tourist visa went for us as well. On the pink slip they give you near the top, it should have some sort of legal code that you can look up and get a very rough idea for why it was denied. In most cases, they deny the visa if you're unable to establish strong ties to your home country (good job, own a house, high income, kids, etc.) Don't worry about that having an impact on your K1 visa. They're handled totally differently and have completely different requirements. The only way you'd run into trouble is if the info you submitted for the K1 visa totally contradicts the info your submitted for the tourist visa.
     
    When we applied for the tourist visa, Gaby was signed up for an English language program at a local university here. We figured that would make them more likely to approve the visa (she had letters from the school and everything), but nope.. They weren't convinced. So today when it was brought up, the interviewer asked if applying for the tourist visa was a way for her to visit me, and Gaby said of course. The interviewer didn't have a problem with this even though I or our relationship was never brought up during the tourist visa process (that's a big red flag for them if your mention a significant other since they'll assume you'll leave and won't come back).
