My fiancé is coming home to me!!!! Is there anything he needs to know before having a short layover in Germany?  Will he run into any problems with his K1 on his short stay there? He's from Zimbabwe but has the visa in his passport and his port of entry packet packed away in his carry on.

After only TWO hours...Approved!  My love is coming home to me!!!!! He picks up his visa and port of entry packet in a week and they even gave him the actual day and time.   Everyone at the US Embassy Harare were wonderful and my love said he was so confident and comfortable.

@kurt&eva THANK YOU!  We wanted to be 200% sure that we had everything for his interview.  I thought we had it all, checking that list more than Santa Claus but I saw your post, raced to my parents house, typed out an updated letter of intent, signed and dated it, scanned it, sent it to his hotel, he printed two and signed and dated one...and now he's getting his interview clothes on and getting in the taxi.  I don't know if they will ask for a lot of things, but we have way more than what I could imagine anyone requesting.  THANK YOU!

Affidavit of Support questions before interview: 
1. For Part 3 #38 if you choose "I intend" to support the person named in Part 2...how specific were you in Additional Information? I would like to write, "I intend to fully provide for all of my fiancè's needs until he is employed and able to contribute." Is that ok? 
2. Did you put N/A or None or literally write nothing on lines that didn't apply? 
3. If you make a little over $50,000 annually is it necessary to provide bank statements? 

@geowrian or anyone who may know.  @Stephanie B anyone who has already been through an interview, or just has insight.  My fiancé has his interview scheduled for May 30th and if there is anything else that needs to be scanned and sent to be printed on his side, I want to take care of it now.  What letters do I need to include?  In other words, if I have a copy of my actual signed contract for another teaching year with salary listed, do I need a pay stub and letter from my employer.  If I meet the 125% with my salary, do I need anything from my bank?  It's not too late for me to get letters written, scanned, and sent to print, so please let me know.  TWELVE MORE DAYS!!!!  We are going through the Zimbabwe Embassy.  They have been wonderful about answering any of my questions and providing documents to us ahead of time.  

For anyone like me, getting an employment verification letter prepared for a K1, I found this one here on Visa Journey.  
 
<date>
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to verify that <name of employee> is currently employed with <name of company> as a <title of position>. He/she began employment with <name of company> on <date employment began>, and his/her current annual salary is <dollar amount>.
If you need any additional information, please feel free to call <company phone number>.
Sincerely,

It's printed on company letterhead paper.

I think its good to over prepare so just in case that the consul asks for more documents or proof she has bullets to use... 
 
That's what I did on my interview. And the consul noticed that I am fully prepared and she told me she appreciated it. 
 
My interview was less than 15 mins  
 

It's hard to saw way will be needed because it's all supporting evidence...no single item is likely to make or break it for a CO. The signed contract is good and may be sufficient in itself, but I wouldn't exclude a few/several months of pay stubs and the employment letter either. If you meet the 100% income level (125% at only a handful of embassies for the I-134), then you don't need to provide assets. Just meeting the bare minimum requirements doesn't necessarily alleviate the underlying public charge concern, so providing some assets would be a good idea if you're borderline.
 
The 2016 tax return (transcript preferred, OR the 1040 + W2(s)) should be ready to be produced by the beneficiary at the interview as well.

Hey there I know each embassy has their own requirements, but the embassy in South Africa accepted my w2 forms and last 4 pay stubs, I emailed them just to show consistant income.  I did not supply any bank statements I didn't think it was necessary since I am also well above the poverty line.  If this is a new job it won't hurt to include a PDF of your offer letter.
 
So he brought the above mentioned, photos of us, police clearance, copy of noa2, copy of letter I received from nvc.

@kurt&eva things are looking up for us.  In a matter of two days things have taken a turn for the better.  It had been one month since our first communication with this agent, who is supposed to cut the time dramatically.  His was a promise of 10 days.  Last night I learned that our application for his police clearance in South Africa was in the building and just needed a signature before sending it to Zimbabwe.  Then I get a call and learn that they didn't do a police clearance and did a background check again.  I cry hysterically when I type in the name of the man my fiancé has been using reading about him on scambook.  Next we learn that it turns out his fingerprints were not clear enough, which I knew couldn't be true because my fingerprints are extremely hard to capture and they do not let you leave until they have a good capture.  Every day for a month something new that just felt like stalling.  So I sent an email letting the two know that I would be stopping by my lawyer's office after work today, if we didn't have a DHL tracking number and my fiance called the office, as the man he's dealing with tends to only text him, which was the first reason I was suspicious of possible fraud.  He confronted him about possible fraud and thankfully was proven false.  The phone call went well and my email message was received.  I was told that my threat of a lawyer was baseless and unnecessary, when I actually meant exactly that.  I was really heading to my lawyer, because he told me he would do everything he could to help me out if I ran into any problems along the way.  But I was also told nonetheless they are now working to push our application through to get it finalized and get that confirmation sent out.  So suddenly it was found and miraculously those fingerprints cleared up.  I didn't question it.  I was just thankful. Turns out it was the commissioner and this man my fiance was using really is his partner.  He didn't seem pleased with his partner according to my fiancé.  I was going to have to fly him back to South Africa after he had just arrived from his 40 hour bus ride.  This was big but God was bigger! Police Clearance done today, application submitted today, medical tomorrow, and second police clearance is scheduled to be picked up on Friday.  We are getting so close   Ps. We might be having our interview on the same day as you.  There are 3 date currently open and the 30th is one of them.  Our wedding is in July and everything is coming along nicely.

@Art786 our embassy in Zimbabwe has been in close contact with me through email throughout the months of April and May and I was told $265 in USD on the day of the interview.  So maybe we just schedule it through DS-160 and pay when he gets there.  Do you think that sounds right? Is the DS-160 free to submit?  We also only had 2 doctors to choose from in the whole country and we were lucky to get him in without a problem.  

Congratulations ! it means that all paper work reached embassy , beneficiary should fill out DS160 and schedule appointment. Hope you have already scheduled medical  and have a police report ,Follow all embassy instructions . In my case I receive email with instructions from embassy about 3 weeks after they receive visa application .  

I hope I understand u correctly, the case number asked for on the medical is the NVC case number. But if u want the Alien number u will find it on NOA2, look on the top right in the third row in the box BENEFICIARY just above ur foreigh fiance's name, thats his alien number

@HeartMoyo we are praying these last couple steps before he takes that flight are simple and fast.  Praying against any RFE, delays in getting an interview, and travel complications.  We'll have to buy a last minute flight from Zimbabwe home to me and how God's gonna pull that one off, I guess we just wait and see.  Easily $2,000-$3,000 for a one way flight last minute. I don't know where that money is, but it will be there in time.  Congrats on being approved It took 18 days for our NVC number, he leaves for Zim on Friday, and tonight we completed his DS-160, to the point that he just needs to add the photo and submit.  His second police clearance is on Monday and his medical is next Wednesday.  You have to schedule a medical at least two weeks before your interview date.  Since we don't have an interview date yet, that made it easy.  We knew we needed to go ahead and get things scheduled while we waited for that NVC number because Harare only recognizes TWO doctors for the medical, so the first chance you get you're going to want to see what their schedule looks like.  He has THREE more working days after today.  A very emotional week, but soon he'll be able to relax, and by faith we believe he'll be home in America by the last week of May or first week of June.  We chose 4 wedding dates of June 10th, 11th, or July 15th, 16th.  I can't wait to be his wife!
