My fiancé said that the interviewer didnt even smile once. She asked for a certain number of basic documents and even when he asked "how are you?" she didnt even respond. He asked if she had all the documents that she needed and she said, "maybe." Then she said they couldn't approve his visa... no explanation, no further info. nothing. He had received the dreaded "221G" form -- which is immigration purgatory -- with NO EXPLANATION.
We sat for 5 very long days completely disappointed and totally worried, wondering if he would ever be able to cross the border -- I was thinking we'd have to get married in Mexico and start the whole terrible process all over again. Then at 5pm the Friday after the interview, I checked the website one more time before the weekend, and his status had unceremoniously changed from "REFUSED" to "ISSUED." The K-1 visa was delivered to the US consulate the following Wednesday or Thursday.
