We were asked about 5 questions. After answering truthfully the officer told us it was now up to the medical. After looking it over she smiled and said all is well we have no reason to deny you entrance back home, congratulations!

CR1 Approved!!!
Hubby got there at 6:50am for his 8:30 appointment (Yes he opened the embassy😅)
I didn't upload my divorce papers (they didn't ask for it on ceac)😒 but the officer uploaded it for himðŸ™ðŸ¾.
They took his birth, marriage, and police certificate, my (petioner) divorce docs and pictures of us. They returned the pics but said they will mail the originals back when they are done processing, should be back with the passport.
Questions asked:
1. How did you meet your wife?
2. How many children does she have?
3. Tell me a little about the kids?
4. How often do you speak to your wife?
5. Why did her previous marriages end?
6. Where does your wife work?
7. How long has she worked there?
8. Whats her job title?
9. When was the last time you saw your wife?
10. How often does she travel to see you?
My husband said it was just a casual conversation. She gave him the domestic violence handout and told him his tourist visa was canceled (he was so scared at this point😬) gave him his passport back with info to mail it and told him to take it to DHL. This is something new due to covid. DHL said he should have it back in 3 days and the embassy will send him an email on when to pick it up.

Medical Exam:
I arrived to my medical appointment about an hour early, which is good because they tend to you on a first come first serve basis. My appointment was at 8am and they let me in at 7:15am They asked for my proof of Visa interview and they gave me a piece of paper to fill out my demographic info. After waiting about 10 mins, I entered an administrative room where they confirmed personal info such as date of birth, place of birth, current address, etc. I was then called to enter another room where I left a urine sample, did a brief eye exam and they checked my height. I was sent out to the waiting area and the room was completely full by that time. I waited about another 25 mins, then i was called to give a blood sample which only took about 1 min. My next step was the physical exam where the doctor asked me to strip down to my underwear and asked me some psychiatric questions and substance history. Once they reviewed my medical history, they administered any vaccines that were missing. I was then called back into the administrative room to pay for everything. The base fee was about $250 USD.but since I needed extra vaccines, the total ended up at $360--Always walk with extra cash for just incase. They arranged for a taxi transport to take me to another location about 10 mins away to get my Chest Xray done. Once this was over, I was done for the day!
I picked up a sealed envelope with my results the next day and prepared for my interview two days later.
Interview Day:
Arrived at the embassy and they let me through security at 8am, which was my scheduled interview time. (The time of your interview is not really the time you will take your interview.) its always best to show up a little earlier. They gave everyone a brief checklist to identify some of the essential documents you will need for your interview while you wait. Once my name was called to the window, I was asked to present a few documents including my application receipt (DS-160) and Affidavit of Support I134, police records, sealed medical packet and birth certificate. Then they took my passport and finger prints and told me to wait until I was called at another window. Once I was called to the second window, the lady asked me to raise my right hand and swear under oath that whatever information I provide was the truth. She asked me to confirm my home address, occupation as well as how and where I met my fiancé. They ask these questions to be sure that your relationship is legit and not some weird story thats on 90 fiancé. (Always keep eye contact and answer as direct as possible.) After this part of the interview she assured me that my K1 Visa will be processed immediately. My Visa was approved, I went flew out back home the very next day and shipped my passport back to the Embassy via DHL. I received my passport with the Visa inside about 10 days later.

Once you get by the embassy you sit by the area with the benches (it has a roof over it now) where the taxis and other people are and wait till they start calling people based on their appointment times (eg. 7:30- 8:00).They then separate people into two lines (green card or immigrant and the non-immigrant visas) the K1 visa is classed as immigrant. It was a 5 hour long process (I had a 7:30 appointment as did everyone else) and there were like 10 people there.
First they called my name (I had to listen carefully because it sounded muffled) and I gave the person the appointment "letter". Then I sat down and waited till I was called again and this time they double checked info and took my documents (the ones on the list) and payment receipt. (She asked if my fiance was with me so I guess that's allowed and might help.) Then I sat down again. Then listened for my name again, this time it's the consular officer and I heard her more clearly. The downside is that those waiting can also hear some of the interview. The officer asked me the usual questions such as "how did you meet?," but also asked me about my career aspirations once I get over to the USA. The interview only lasted a few minutes and I wasn't even asked to show any pictures or chat logs. But it depends on the case so bring them anyway.
This was the easiest part of the process, just requires some patience.

Very friendly and accommodating. My interview was very shortly and mainly involved me giving them the documents they didn't have (show originals). Granted, I had been interviewed in that same embassy by the same officer less than a year ago for a tourist visa and she completely remembered me.
