As expected the visa was denied due to her overstay of her visa past the age of 18. Thankfully she is eligable for the waiver and we got all our paper work almost done for the interview on the 10th of december. We still got a lot more waiting but we are confident and happy that another step is being taken. The interview was very short (once again as expected) and straight foward. the officer was polite but firm. Towards the end of the interview we received some positive feedback from the officer which made us a little less sad. For all of those waiting for the interview my only piece of advice is reasearch as much as possible so you'll be prepare for whatever happens, as we were.

We arrived at the Consulate around 6:30am. Our appointment was at 7:45 am as were all the other K1 visa applicnts. We were he first in line then one guard told us we were in the wrong line only to find out later that it indeed was the correct line. After getting back in the correct line only to be about 11th in line now. We were aloud to go through security check 5 at a time. Once through the security check we had to go up to the second floor by stairs. That was a little difficult with a baby stroller. Once inside we had to fill out form DS-230 part 1. Word to the wise for anyone that files any K visas you have to have this form. It is available at the consulate. We were called up to the desk and the lady there checked our paperwork and gave us back anything they did not need. That is where we found out that the State police record my fiance got was not the right one. Next we went to window #1 and the gentleman there looked through the paperwork and stated that we were missing the stat... read complete review

 Went to my interview and got my visa approved. I waited there for many hours and the Consul was not exactly pleasant, but it was all fine. They never looked at any evidence that I brought with me, just required documents and many questions.
Don~t plan a trip to a date close to the interview date. This Consulate has been taking 7-10 days to deliver the visa to applicant~s house and you don~t have an option to go pick it up directly with them.

Vera was approved this AM! Officer was straight to the point. He asked the same questions more than once, just rephrased them. He never asked to see relationship proof, she offered to show him but he refused. :P She waited about 4 hours for interview.

Interview was today, Oct. 21. We will post a complete review as soon as possible.
The main thing is - and as far as I can see, it is a first! - that the visa decision was delayed without us having to provide any additional document or information. The reason was stated as "we will check that you told the truth and if that is the case, we will mail you the visa in your passport".
Also, I don't know about the previous interviewing officers, but we got a man and he was not friendly at all. We asked another couple who had their interview maybe 45mn before ours and they got a woman, and their opinion was that she was not friendly either.
The only good thing was that the process was relatively fast, we arrived at 7:50am, got in at 8:00am and our interview was over at 10:30am. There were 18 couples/families (35 people total), with about half being K-1, the rest K-3. We were called roughly as #12.
