Have you read the reviews of the embassy here on VJ? I just quickly looked over them. Nearly every review is 4 or 5 stars, and it sounds like the interview is very short (often just 3 questions). I also don't recall ever seeing any stories here on VJ indicating otherwise.The only two countries I recall anyone having K-1 "challenges" in SE Asia are Cambodia and Vietnam.

In other words, if you have a straight forward case, I think you can feel confident things will go fine.

My fiancee and I dealt with the embassy in Bangkok. I did put a stellar review for them under the embassy section because it was a very simple interview. Our application was front-loaded very well for our evidence of relationship, and I helped her study a bunch of questions they might ask just in case, and she was more than prepared. All the work and then only 3 easy questions, and have a nice day. The total interview was under 5 Min. We had applied for a tourist visa before applying for a K1 also, and that was denied in under 30 seconds. From my experience and others I have talked to If you have a strong front-loaded application with lots of evidence you should have no issues on a K1. The embassy is hard on anyone wanting a tourist visa for sure, but they seem to be more than willing to issue a K1 as long as you are legit. Just be as prepared as possible for the interview, and I don't think you will have any problems. Good luck, Know that the approval is just the beginning, I am just finishing planning for the wedding soon at a Thai temple here( It's not to easy to find a Monk that is licensed by the State to perform ceremonies.LOL), and have followed the guides here for everything to the letter. Stick with the guides and you will have no issues, as they have not failed me yet, Had her social security card 2 weeks after landing ( Applied the day after Thanksgiving after only being here 48 hours and she was in the system) took everything the guide suggested and was done in about an hour and a Half. Only took 15min to do the card application, rest was wait time. Will be filing AOS soon following the guides here again to the letter, and am hoping for a speedy processing on that also.

Good luck, and I think you should be fine as long as you are prepared.
