Roger & Grace

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

It is with a very excited heart to finally announce it here.....  Yep, we just got approved!!!!
 
They are mailing packet 4 and our "Interview Date" is soon, August the 17th... Whew!!!! 
 
Yes...yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,...... yes!!!!!
 
Now Grace needs the Medical scheduled and done, and we need to gather the evidence together for her Interview!
 
Thanks for all your prayers... Glad we stuck with it..  Thanks to everyone on here... it's been a journey indeed!!! 
 

Thank You

Don't send anything to USCIS after the initial petition, unless they ask you for it via RFE.
You'll also be able to provide additional information and evidence at the interview stage.
 
Good luck!

Formal as in the "will you marry me question" with a date? We didn't do all of that. We always talk about marriage so it's not a big deal for us.
 
I submitted a lot of documentation. I submitted call logs from calling card, whatsapp and messenger, pictures and airlines tickets. Even our son's birth certificate. I'm going to see him next week so I will have additional photos etc - how do I submit those?
 
 I have my last 3 years taxes so that's not an issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by no formal engagement? Well after further conversation there were more questions. Has he had any trouble with the law, if he had been to USA before. Who proposed and how did we meet. When we filed our I129 we just put down that it was over the phone then more formal in person when I traveled to Mexico. 
On a very important side note. My fiance said there were a number of people turned away for lack of documentation. Mainly for not supplying W2 requests. So i would say make sure to bring this with you.
 

He arrives on the 25th of this month. We will have to wait a bit before filing the AOS since we've had a lot of expenses in the process so far

So they asked 1 question? What if you haven't had a formal engagement or date? Doesit matter? It's not a thing for us. We already have a 2 year old. 

Yayy congratulations! When will he fly over?

Congratulations @RJandHamid. We are happy for you both!. 

This is what it's all about, right here!!! You both make a perfect couple! Congrats!!!

Congrats!!! 

So my fiancé was approved today. The interviewer only asked how we met and then told him he was approved. 
Wishing everyone else luck in the process!

Wanted to share that my fiancé arrived last week and we got married today! This thread was a huge support for us, especially during the dreadful NOA2 wait. Now to get started on AOS! 

The only affidavit of support form for K1 Visa interview is I-134. 

So most of the people who were interviewed in Sydney on the same day as me last week have already received their visas and here we are still in AP.  I know it's only been just over a week but why can't one thing ever go smoothly?

Thank you. His interview is Friday and starting to stress that everything is hopefullly in order especially since I won't be there.

Thank you   My fiance (petitioner) was with me during the process; however the CO only asked what his name was and told him to take a seat. The CO then started to interview me. 
From my observation, there were many petitioners accompanied the applicants to the interview. Most of them got approvals. I said majority because surprisingly there was one applicant who got interviewed for 15 mins; the CO wasn't convinced so she interviewed petitioner for another 10 mins. I didn't know the result of their interview since my number got called. Some went alone and got approvals/ blue slips as well. So i said, if the petitioner was there, it would have been an advantage.
The paperwork I prepared follows the K1  visa instruction file
. https://vn.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/07/K-INSTRUCTION.pdf
At the document window: they will do quick document checklist, they will return those who aren't needed such as my ID card - original + copies; my Birth certificate- copy;  petitioner birth certificate- copy; copy of my passport but took the biographic page. For evidence of support, the officer returned my fiance bank account confirmation, bank statement, stock statement, house appraisal. The documents are all copy/ without signatures.
They keep original documents such as household book registration, birth certificates, passport, Original Justice Record Check #2, medical examination result.
During interview, I got asked couple basic questions, CO didnt ask for any new relationship evidences. Still highly recommend to be well prepared.  
 
Good luck!!  I was happy for you that finally you got to this stage. Interview will be fine.  Right now, U can contact the Consulate to ask them if they receive your package physcially and so they could send you the email of k1 instruction letter. With it, you can start preparing the documents; schedule appointment for interview, medical exam and vaccination. 
Medical examination should be done 7-10 day before interview day. You need to call in advance for those appointments.
 

Congrats on your Approval !!!. NVC shows that our case is now ready, so I am hoping packet 3 will arrive sometime this week for my fiancee. Hope our interview will go as smoothly as yours. 

CEAC says "issued" as of 7-27

@bluesky2830 & @tritruong85
I had my K1 interview @ Consulate in HCM on Friday. If you guys have questions, feel free to contact me!
good lucks to you and your fiancees!!

Hey Everyone,
So my fiance has his interview next week and am planning for a positive outcome.
From reading the different threads and thought would reach out here since were all in a similar timeline.
After he arrives we should wait about 10 days for getting his social security seems the general consensus.
My questions is around the I-131 the advanced parole so we can travel outside the USA fairly soon. . Can he file for the advance parole without applying for the AOS I-485?
Its just that there have been a lot of expenses and would like to wait a few months to pay the $1200.00 for the AOS.
Let me know if anyone has any information.
Thanks
R

I guess no one is in AOS step yet.
try to ask this question from another forum where there is people who went through AOS.
