Yeah they can. I had my interview in Nairobi and my affidavit was sent via email. 

Congratulations!!! 

Hey everyone. I had an interview today and I was approved! Yay!
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting 

Check on the ceac website with your case number. If it says ready for interview, yeah for sure go ahead. Schedule the interview and the medical cause interviews are really hard to get now. 
 
I had an interview today at the embassy I got approved!

My fiancé is an optimist. He'd already booked me a flight even before my interview which is great cause they went up. But he got a travel protection just in case. I'm so frigging excited! This is surreal! I'm even more excited than when I first met him! I'm so so happy! We've been really patient and it's paid up. 
 
I booked my interview a week and a half before my interview. It's good cause it gives them enough time to send your documents to the embassy. And sometimes they might suspect you have TB which adds another three days of sputum tests. So two weeks in advance is really really good. 
 
When the status on the CEAC changes to ready go ahead and book everything even before the embassy sends you an email. That's what I did so that I could get an early date for my interview 

The interview was okay but the wait! Oh my. I got there at 6.30 but they only called my name at 8.46. 
 
I still can't believe I was approved!!! They almost put me in Administrative Processing just cause I didn't have out chat transcripts. They had everything, emails, pictures! But they wanted the chat transcripts. So I told her to give me a few minutes to go get them. I came back with them and I was approved!! 
 
The interview questions are normal. Like where did you meet? What website?  How much time you spent together? When did he propose? They're gonna ask a lot of questions about the petitioner so make sure he knows you like the back of his hand. 
 
Otherwise they're all very polite. I was confortable with the counselor officer.

Hello fellow July filers. I figured I'd just write about my experience of the medical exam at the IOM in Nairobi. 
 
First day I arrived at 7.20 my appointment was at 7.30am. Really doesn't matter when you're appointment is they serve you on a first come first served basis. We handed in our Assessment form which they send to you when you book your appointment, to the reception. They called my name a few minutes later and I heard my picture taken. After a while there's a guy who called all the day one's to the counseling room. We all sat and he started telling us about the whole processes depending on which country you're going to. After that we signed consent forms to allow them to take blood, urine and x-ray. 
 
Next we went to the lab. They took our blood and urine. I handed in a passport photo too. Next is the x-ray. Dint take more than five minutes. After that I went to pick up my payment coupon. They send you to the vaccinations area so that they can determine which ones you need. I didn't need any so they gave me an invoice of just the other exams. I paid ksh 19242 ($188). I used MPESA to pay. 
 
The next day I went there same time in the morning. There's a tray we drop our forms in for Day 2. You then have to see the cashier to confirm your payment. Then I waited and this woman called our names. I went into this room and they took my weight, measured my height and tested my eyes. Then I was sent upstairs for the rest of the physical exam. They tell you how your blood work, urine and x-ray turned out. I was given an all clear and a CD with my cray on it.  After that I went to the vaccinations area I didn't need any so they just filled in the dates I had the vaccines and gave me the certificate of vaccination. And I was done. 
 
I typically spent 5 hour each day. But it only depends on how many people are there. They don't just serve the US it's other countries too like Australia, Canada and the UK

Hey everyone. I had an interview today and I was approved! Yay!
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting 

OK, so it’s been a while since I posted anything in the JUNE group for a few reasons. 1 – My finance left this morning, so I haven’t had the time to post anything, and 2 – I am just getting over our interview from last week (Friday 2nd March 2018). Oh we also had our birthdays too.
Our interview was booked for 11.30am, and we got there at 11.15 despite the weather. We was up at 3am! London is only a couple hours away, but the weather meant I couldn’t drive, so we ended up getting a train. We had to leave out super early, as everything had come to a standstill. Lucky for us, our train arrived on time.
Anyway, I won’t bore you with the in’s and outs for the process of getting to, into and around the Embassy. There are quite a few of reviews about this on the site already.
Now, we knew that our interview may have led to a denial, as unfortunately, my fiancé DOES have a criminal background. (I have no criminal history).
When we both got up and swore an oath, the Officer went straight in. He was VERY straight talking, but not rude. He asked all the basic questions, how we met, how long we have known one another, how long we have been engaged, do we have a wedding date, how many times have we been to see one another, when and what the durations were each time. etc. He then asked me to go through my entire folder. The Officer had my fiancés affidavit form, but had saw that I had another in my folder (his mum offered if they didn’t accept his, as his taxes are confusing). He asked to see them, and stated these were better than his (lol).
At the back of my folder I had my fiancés background information, which consisted of his summary (8 arrests, 0 convictions). It also included a certified copy of each one from the court which showed the disposition. I then told the officer that (pointing at the back of the folder) that this was to do with his background. He then told my fiancé to go and sit down as he needed to take me into a confidential room on the other side of the building. As my fiancé turned around he walked in the confidential glass (I didn’t laugh at the time, but I did when we exited the embassy).
Anyway, I entered the room, and the officer was behind glass, and this is where the real interrogation happened.
Before my fiancé and I are judged, he has a pretty nasty background, not that he is proud of. either. These include 3x arrests relating to drugs (last one 15 years ago) a Dui (14 years old) an assault (17 years old – he was in school) and 3 relating to domestic - 1x was for violation of protection order as despite taking the mother of his daughter to court for custody, she did not adhere to the order, so he went to the church his daughter was at to get her, and this is where he got the violation. This one was from 10 years ago. The other two are from the mother of his son. He found out she was cheating after snatching her phone from her hand (2016). All domestic arrests where dropped by his ex’s, so no conviction.
So for clarification: drug charges include, cannabis, cocaine & heroine (he isn’t a drug user, and hasn’t been one, so use your imagination as to why he had these). One was dropped as the police didn’t attend the court. The other two he was given probation (one 6x months and the other 24 months – both concluded as satisfied).
Before anyone asks if I’m sure about my fiancé (what I have read other people comment when similar posts have been made). This isn’t someone I have recently met. I have known him for 22 years. I know all of his family, and he knows the majority of mine. (His mum and my mum are friends, and we met from when we were children). The only reason why I have decided to write this, is to give some insight to those worried about certain things on their record, as they are often told not to bother with a K1, as you will get denied. We noticed when we tried to get information on here and other sites, that there was no follow up to see if they were approved or not. So we just want to help anyone else in the same scenario who may be worried.
Anyway, back to the interview. It seemed like the officer wanted to know if I really knew the details (just the drug and domestic related ones), when I knew about them (I have known for years as me and my fiancé have always been friends over the years) and what was the outcome for each case. He looked at some of the court papers, asked how I felt about them. I advised that he just became a product of his environment, and had no guidance. The officer then said, it seemed like he had really changed his life around, which I agreed. I also said my fiancé and I are from two different worlds, he is from an inner city, and I am a typical suburban woman. He wanted to know what drugs were involved (obviously he has this information too). If I was worried if he would harm me. After explaining what I knew about those cases he fully understood. I also explained that as I had heard the story from his ex’s too, I knew that the details what he told me were genuine. He asked to see pictures I had with his children. He also asked a lot about my job, what it involved, my qualifications, how soon I got a job in the field after my degree. If my post grad was masters level. My salary etc. I am unsure why he asked about my job so much to be honest.  
All in all the interview lasted for a good 30 mins.  He then asked if I wanted to continue, and after saying yes, he asked me to meet him back at the same screen. As I past my fiancé, he looked like a child in trouble (lol) bless him.
As he gave me my paperwork back, I saw the dreaded blue form. But he looked up and said, “I am going to approve you pending your medical. Its onsite, but has not been put onto the system yet.” I thanked him, he smiled and said “you’re welcome”.
I was so happy, but also felt sick. I can’t lie and say that it wasn’t traumatic, as it really was. I wouldn’t wish it
On Monday my status changed to “Administrative processing” then on Thursday 8th March 2018 it changed to “ready” and on Friday 9th March 2018, it went back to “Administrative processing”. I also can now track it on the non-immigrant tracker, but instead of “no status” it also states “administrative processing”. I hope that this is how it supposed to go as we’re paying for our venue on Monday.
 
If anyone wants to know all the questions asked, feel free to PM me, as I know how judgemental some people are on here.

You're welcome. After the NOA2 things go by very quickly.

i hope ours too☺️ Thanks for the reply. God bless ❤️

Mine was ready 3 days after we got a letter from the NVC. 

It's fine. For scheduling purposes a K1 is considered and immigrant visa. They treat it as an immigrant visa although it's a non immigrant. It gets confusing sometimes. 

If you are to book it, do it but get a travel protection plan so that if anything was to happen to delay your visa, you could change dates or cancel the flight. I understand why you'd want to book early cause flight prices changes and the closer to the date the expensive it is.
