Thread about a now-resolved situation is closed to further comment -- OP has moved on to AOS questions (see thread in main "AOS from K Visas" forum).

Congratulations! 1. Become an "A" student of all subsequent phases of the immigration process. Read all requirements carefully, interpret instructions literally, and answer/respond completely and honestly. 2. Immediately begin collecting evidence of your joined lives for Removing Conditions (ROC). Throw all physical evidence into a box, and store electronic evidence in a special, backed-up folder. When it comes time to apply for ROC, you'll have more than enough supportive evidence. 3. As a top priority, draft and execute Wills, Powers of Attorney, and other associated estate documents. These make outstanding evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." This applies even if you have few material or financial resources. In addition, change beneficiary designations on financial accounts and investment vehicles. Remember that estate attorneys can make their biggest money not off people who die intestate (without Wills), but off people who try to draft their own estate documents themselves or download something from a website. Shop around for the most competent estate attorney who will cut you an affordable deal. Keep in mind also that some U.S. states don't have Will reciprocity, so check into redrafting these estate documents if you move from one state to another.

And yet again, the only thing to say about this nonsense is . Or maybe .

Spoken by a transphobic who needs to be canceled.

These people have lost their minds and their sense of humanity, if they ever had either.

Thrilling (?) Wednesday report, see man: Was awakened at Many a.m. by phone call from Mama T-B., ultra-groggy we man. "I have another BP prescription at Walgreens, si man! They say it's ready, but who can believe those incompetent losers, si and huh man? Call them to confirm and bring it to me right away, si man!" said senior she man to we man. "They're not open yet, no man," mumbled we man, squinting at clock blearily man. "Well, wait till they are, call immediately and report back to me, si man!" ordered senior she man of we man. We inadequately caffeinated ourself and spent half an hour on hold waiting for stupid call pick-up, man. The Rx was allegedly ready, amazing man, and we notified Mama T-B., si man. "Well, go pick it up and bring it straight here, si man, and don't look like a bum!" ordered senior she man of we man. "We need to take a quick shower, si man," weakly noted we man to senior she man. "Forget the shower and bring it here, si man!" ordered senior she man of we man. "The cardiologist is going away after Friday, and we need as much time as possible to see if I react poorly to these, si man!" continued senior she man. We somehow made it to Walgreens without an accident, groggy we man man. We waited for Many (2+2+1) minutes in their drive-through with no acknowledgment, man. We pulled around front and went inside, pharmacy ALL the way at back of store man. Many (2+2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2+2) -- customers were ahead of us, man. One was arguing with a clerk about why an Rx wasn't ready, been there done that we man. Another was trying to schedule a flu/Covid shot, isn't now a bit late for that man? The clerks were all moving like molasses and reacting like idiots, typical man. When our turn came, we told the clerkette which one we'd come for, si man. The clerkette said, "But I see that we have 2 ready, si man." We again specified which one we'd come for, si man. Clerkette took a full 2 minutes to find it, man. We finally blew over to Mama T-B.'s, finally man. Mama T-B. insisted on opening the stapled package herself, let us do it if you're trembling man. Mama T-B. began cursing at the size of the Rx bottle, manufacturer's original man. Mama T-B. began trying to open the foil seal until we took over, si man. We said, "It's not unusual to give out the manufacturer's bottle, no man!" si man. Mama T-B. said, "It won't fit in my pill drawer with all the others, no man!" rant senior she man. Mama T-B. immediately popped one of the pills, anxious senior she man. "Why didn't you offer to start my car on Sunday when you were here, huh man?" asked senior she man. "You didn't ask, no man," replied we man. "Well, go down and do it now, si man!" ordered senior she man of we man. "Where's the key, huh man?" asked we man of senior she man. "In here," said Mama T-B., fumbling to get it. "Let us get it, si man," offered we man to senior she man. "Don't mess up anything in that drawer, no man!" ordered senior she man of we man. "Can we leave after starting it, huh man?" asked we man of senior she man. "I guess, si man, but that's my only spare key -- DON'T LOSE IT, no man!" said senior she man to we man. We left, needing one of those BP pills ourself, si man. As usual, the Mama-T-B.-mobile started right up, new battery man. To decompress, we gassed the T-B.-mobile at Costco, already halfway there we man. On the way casa-ward, we cursed ourself for not having prepared the valid Subway coupons, man. At the casa, we considered lunch, si man. Lunch was toucans of chicken noodle soup bought at last weekend's ES, ingest we man. At lunch's end, phone rang from Mini-B.'s skool, oh brother man. Assistant Principalette cheerily asked, "How are you today, huh man?" egad man. We replied, "What did he do now, huh man?" sigh man. "Well, he's in in-skool suspension for a couple of incidents, si man," said A.P. man. Mini-B. had joined his amigos in making fun of another stoodent's bad haircut, sigh man. Mini-B. had slapped another stoodent who'd tried to kick him after Mini-B. started an argument, sigh man. , man. We jawboned at length with the A.P., rather fruitful man. A.P. was interested that Mini-B. was an only child, just like us and the A.P. herself man. "This will help us in counseling him, si man," said A.P. man to we man. We promised that ex-Mrs.-T-B. and we would do our parts, si man. It was Two Guys eve tonight, how very opportune man. 🙄 We stuck a valid Subway coupon in our pocket, prepared we man. We were very calm at skool pick-up, si man. Mini-B. was somewhat subdued, expected man. Mini-B. requested Subway for din-din, si man. Din-din was from Subway*, ingest Two Guys man. *WUOC, financially savvy we man After din-din, we calmly invited Mini-B. to put down his phone, si man. We extracted the stories from Mini-B., one easier than the other man. "I teased the kid about his bad haircut because my friends were doing it and I wanted to be popular, and I got in trouble for it, si man," said wee man to we man. "Do you remember how embarrassed you were about your last haircut, huh man?" asked we man of wee man. "Remember how you were afraid that people would make fun of you, huh man?" asked we man of wee man. Mini-B. reluctantly acknowledged this, si man. "Don't you think that this kid felt badly enough about his haircut without everyone's help, huh man?" asked we man to wee man. Mini-B. reluctantly acknowledged this, si man. The second incident involved kids playing ball after skool the other day, si man. Mini-B. asked one of his amigos, who was playing, if Mini-B. could join, si man. Mini-B. then made fun of a player's skills, si man. That kid's brother took offense, si man. Comments on both sides accelerated, si man. The kid and his brother tried to kick Mini-B., si man. Mini-B. allegedly slapped one, si man. The kids reported Mini-B. for bullying, man. We asked if Mini-B. knew the saying "put your foot in your mouth," ask we man of wee man. He did not, no man. We explained this and said, "A closed mouth gathers no foot," si man. We recommended that Mini-B. think his observations about people but not offer them, si man. We then left Mini-B. to decompress and went outside, call ex-Mrs.-T-B. we man. Ex-she man was somewhat aware of the first incident, Mini-B. had told her man. Ex-she man was upset-angry about the second, oof man. Ex-she man will probably lower the boom, uh-oh man. Mama T-B. just called, call senior she man we man. New BP pill worked for a few hours, encouraging man. BP now returned to stroke-level values, damn it man. Something else is causing these BP issues, agree we man with senior she man. Mama T-B. not even sure that she'll make it to cardiologist on Friday, that bad man. This has been a thrilling Wednesday, si man.

Adak, Alaska!

Yes, the K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent. This is why interviews are in the Immigrant Visa units of the consulates.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: Awoke nearly an hour late, egad man. Was not coughing very much at all, HSM must have finally worked man. Visited Mama T-B. for about an hour, never thought we'd return to this pattern given her earlier fizzicle shape man. Mama T-B. didn't yell at us even once, cause for repeat hospitalization by itself man. Mama T-B. tried to convince Mini-B. of the importance of skool grades, diplomatic senior she man. We let this go on until Mini-B. began tearing up, politely change subject we man. This was quite a pleasant visit, si man. Missed first half-hour of football game, planned Two Guys activity man.

Discriminatory Ontarkar! Discriminatory, DISCRIMINATORY Ontarklar! Hardest grade precised, si D ma'am. We were told that Many'th (2+2+2th) grade, not Many'th (2+2+2+1th) grade was hardest, hmm man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. bought an iPad purely to be able to control Mini-B.'s iPhone, but it or she doesn't, mystery man. We have had success (albeit a limited sample) by telling Mini-B. that he has to be in bed by (e.g.) Many:Many or he'll lose phone privileges for an unspecified time, si man. Mini-B. accelerates and seems to take pride in making the deadlines, interesting man. This makes us wonder whether "little" threats, made consistently, might be more effective than big threats (lengthy suspensions of phone, etc.), hmm man.
