Thanks Rob&Dawn, Magpie and everyone else for the best wishes. DOS says my fiance can go to the interview tomorrow w/o his passport. He just needs to bring proof as to why he does not have it, which is no problem. DOS said it is not unheard of, people have issues with their passports and it will not be a problem. If everything goes well (God willing) he will be "approved pending additional docs".

I am so happy that he can attend his interview at least, I knew I could count on the US (as opposed to the UK Home Office :wacko: )

Visa Journey completed, but we are still here to provide support! :)

Okay, freaking out a little bit.

I called DOS to find out why I hadn't got my passport with the visa in it yet, and they said that they received the passport but I was still under processing. What does that mean? The letter I received said that I had clearance, so does that mean I'm still under administrative processing or does that mean that they're processing the passport to issue the visa? I'm meant to be flying out on the 25th of May, so you can imagine I'm a little freaked out now...

What is the exact interview fee for K-1?

You can pay by either and the fee is $131 and you can pay in cash or with a Visa or Mastercard credit card. I'm not sure what the others were -- but I'd recommend he take out cash (either in GBP or dollars).
