| Embassy Review : |
I picked the only available interview date throughout August and September, which is August 17th. It didn't seem like I have a choice since my petition expires on the second week of October and I was told by my office that I might have a work trip on the beginning of October.
I had a crazy week. Called the panel doctor for a medical examination on August 8th. Went to the medical examination the following day. Was told to pick up my medical report on August 16th.
As for the documents, I collected almost everything except for my Australian Police Certificate. This is required as I spent a few years in Australia. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) only mail their certificates through standard international mail. It will take about 20 working days to get here. That's about a month. I ordered this on the last week of July thinking that it will be in time for a September interview. Since I was told that August 17th was the only available slot in two months, I had no choice but to call the AFP to send another copy to a friend in Australia so that she could express mail it to me. Unfortunately that did not arrived on time too. She sent me a scanned copy plus a verification letter from her before having the originals courier to me.
Anyway, I divided my interview package into 4 clear folders;
Folder 1: Interview Confirmation, Payment Confirmation, DS-160, NOA1, NOA2, NVC Letter, Statement of Intent to Marry (both), Birth Certificate (both), Passports copy (both), Malaysian Police Certificate, Australian Police Certificate (scanned copy + verification letter or original), Medical Examination Report & Receipt.
Folder 2: Affidavit of Support, Fiancé's Bank Statements, Fiancé's Bond Statement, Fiancé's 2 Pay Stubs, Fiancé's W2 (2015 & 2016), Fiancé's Employment Letter & Contract, my Bank Statements, my Assets Listing, my Education Record & Honor Awards, my Volunteer Record & Recommendation Letters.
Folder 3: Evidence Pack - Screenshots of a few chats from each month, screenshots of voice and video calls, immigration stamps on both passports, airline reservations & boarding passes, hotel reservations for recent summer trips, photos of us and family. Information on wedding plans - A few wedding venues and packages that we are considering. Rings - Promise ring, engagement ring & wedding bands with receipt
Folder 4: Original submission of I-129F
There were one other K1 visa applicant and one K2 visa (from what I heard, the applicant got into trouble at the POE and was sent back). The CO was giving both of them a hard time. Took the other K1 visa applicant nearly 20 minutes with all the questions. I was a little worried that it might happen to me too. When she was done, the CO called my number and I walked up.
Took me all but two minutes... The CO asked;
When did you meet your fiance?
When did you last meet in person?
When did you got engaged ?
Congratulations.. your visa is approved
Guess being organized works well...:D |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
