Just had my interview this morning and it went well!
 
I went through two people:
1. A man doing the documents check (1st interview)
- checked all my documents are in order
- got my passport, pictures, original documents and photocopies
- returned photocopies that were not needed (police clearance, affidavit of support)
- returned the original tax transcripts (he only got the w2 and paystubs)
- borrowed my id (i am holding a work visa in a foreign country)
- asked me if I knew my fiance's occupation and how much he earned
- gave me a pamphlet about domestic violence and the paper to fill up if additional documents will be required
 
2. A lady (the CO, I presume) 
- returned my original birth certificate
- questions:
A. asked me how long my fiance and i have been chatting and when did we officially become a couple (answered and said i was in the us when we met)
B. When and how long was i in the US, why was I there for 6 months
She then asked for my old passport (where my tourist visa was) and put a stamp on it saying "cancelled without prejudice"
C. Has my fiance ever visited me (once in the Philippines and in Singapore)
D. Have I went back to the US (once in 2016 and once this year)
E. How long were my visits there (10-12 days)
F. Have I met any of his family (yes) has he met any of my family (yes)
G. Where does his family live?
H. What are our wedding plans 
 
She said, okay your documents are complete. You will get your passport back with your visa in 2 weeks.
 
I also asked what to do if i made an error on the ds-160 regarding the name of my sister, she said it wasn't a problem as long as she is a blood relative it's fine.
 
The first interview lasted less than 5 mins and the second interview less than 10 minutes.
 
Thanks to all the advice here in VJ. Hoping everyone has a succesful interview too! 😊

Technically, yes. But most COs request it anyway (which they are allowed to do).

Yes. Your fiance is still the primary sponsor and needs to provide an I-134 along with supporting evidences (including a tax return/transcript).
 
I'd say nonimmigrant personally...until you finish AOS, you are not actually an LPR.

Visa APPROVED! APPROVED! APPROVED! Today🤗

Visa in hand! It was fast. My interview was Monday, May 22nd. Visa issued on Wednesday, May 24, and I got my visa in hand on Saturday, May 27!! 
My fiance will travel to Vietnam for 2 weeks then we will go to America in Jun 16.
I hope everybody here will get an American flag quickly and easily! Have a nice weekend! Loves!!

Hey Guys!!! My Fiance had the interview today at the us embassy in Paris and we Were approved!!! Almost done with this journey!! Wishing luck to everyone still waiting on their NOA2. I'm Praying for you guys!!!

I emailed the consulate in Montreal this morning asking for clarification on the email they sent me last week. I wanted to know if I'd have to resend my packet 3 email or not. A couple hours later, they replied with my packet 4 email! Medical is now being scheduled, interview is scheduled and I'm getting VERY nervous/excited! 

18 days after approval we have our NVC number and ours is on its way to the embassy in Zimbabwe  We had already completed one of the two police clearance forms, and scheduled his medical for May 10th, without our NVC number, trusting we would have it in time.  We planned for him to move from South Africa to Zimbabwe on May 5th, without having our NVC number, trusting it would come.  So he leaves for Zimbabwe on May 5th to complete these last few items on our checklist before he comes home to me in GA.  This was our toast on our one year anniversary in this crazy good love story...and soon very soon, I'll be his wife  
 

Last update for me!  Had my interview on Wednedsay and was approved, will fly to the US next week as soon as my passport is returned.  Good luck to everyone still going!

We were approved today!!!

Hey everyone....It feels like forever when my fiance and I filed our K1 Visa petition and started following the original November 2016 filers thread back almost 6 months ago.  

We had our K1 Visa interview - And were approved!  

We can't give enough thanks to VJ and the members here!  Especially the Oct, Nov, and Dec 2016 filers for your support, humor, and all the positive encouragement through this stressful process.

I genuinely wish everyone good luck and a fast, successful K1 Visa process!  I hope we are all with our loved ones very soon!

Fiancé had his interview today.
approved!!!

My fiancé was scheduled for his interview this morning......We were approved......now I can exhale

AND I'M ONE OF THEM !!!  
NOA1 Nov 3rd
NOA2 Apr 13th
167 days of endless waiting. No RFE.
 
Thank you so, so much for your scans, @geowrian! Those spreadsheets kept me a bit more sane during this super long wait. Wish you many blessings. 
 
Congrats to you too, @Andsco! 
 
Hoping uscis stop dragging November cases and we all get our approvals really soon. 

I....GOT....APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I am so happy after 139 days that I cannot even believe yet that we finally got approved, I literally started to cry . Thanks so much to everyone who was there to answer any questions I ever made and mostly to @geowrian for updating every week the files for us to keep track of the cases, it REALLY helped me to keep me kind of sane and at the same time get annoyed when there was no approved cases. As well I would like to thank @llaz for talking with me as much and supporting me as much as I hope I did support you!. Being in the same situation of being for so many days waiting and having someone to share the experience with, helped me a lot and YOU ARE NEXT! You called it last week and now I call it on you!! 

That's not the last step but next station...............................NVC!!!!!!!!!!

Now my question is, I have to wait around a week and a half to 2 weeks before we call to get a number. Am I right? I understood that this number we have to use it to pay for the D-160 and choose date for interview? 

Again, thanks a lot to everyone! And my advice......you'll feel a lot of emotions as you wait for NOA2 but it will come eventually. KEEP IT UP EVERYONE! 

Hello K1 Family. I just wanted to share my interview experience yesterday at the Manila Embassy. 
I was there around 8:20 and before you enter, they will ask you for your DS-160 so they can put the barcode sticker in it. They would also ask what time is your interview appointment.
You don't have to worry since there are a lot of people there who would tell you what to do, where to go and what is next. Upon entry, they will let you sit to wait for your turn on the Pre-interview. 
On the pre-interview, i was asked for all my documents. Don't worry, they will give back what they don't need and they would ask if something is missing. The lady also asked for pictures and since i had a thick album, she just had me open it and show to her so she can note it on the system. 
After the pre-interview, you will need to fall in line for the finger printing window (window 46 if I am not mistaken). Please make sure that your hands are dry and to read the instructions while waiting so you won't have a hard time. You will need to show your DS-160 then your name and then finger print scanning. 
Once you are done, you will need to sit with the others for your interview, there will be people assisting you so do not worry. During my interview (Window 60), it was so smooth. I was asked for my DS-160 then my name then he went to get my documents and then made me do the oath which you will just say YES. He asked me 5 questions: 
1. Where did you and Matthew meet
2. How many times did he come here
3. What does he do?
4. Where is he living?
5. Have you ever travelled outside the Philippines?
Then the consul looked at me and smiled and said "So i see here that the relationship is genuine and that we will approve your visa" and I smiled and said thank you and I even told him that i have a lot of evidence in my bag and he said that he can see that since my bag is big but it is no longer necessary. Then i was told to wait for my visa within 5-10 business days and was given the pamphlet. 😁😁😁😁
I went outside and it was around 9:35 am. 
Thank you all for the support and prayers. 
I am and will continue to pray for the other who are still undergoing the process. We will all pass!! ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊 
P.S
Just be honest, relax and don't forget to pray. 😉😉

Gratuluje, wszystkiego dobrego !
