Don't worry, it will be a pleasant interview. If consulate officer asks about K-1 denial, tell them the truth and convince them cleanly :thumbs:

They can ask excessive evidence for the proof of marital relationship. Some may ask less, but some other may ask more, and some others may interview both the petitioner and the beneficiary.

In your case, get a ticket soon and prove it.

I wish it was that easy to just pick up and leave. I just came back from VN in May 2008. Only chance to get to see my wife b/c I had just changed jobs and needed a break before going into the new company. I have no vacation hours what so ever and they will not let me go unpaid, pluse I just barely started this job. My wife said the interviewer and translator were really soft spoken and seem nice. She told me she answered about 50+ questions. Man, the questions they asked were just crazy. I'm so glad we went through everything together before her interview, down to the very tiny details. I just finished creatin the letter of our timeline of our relationship then get it notarized. I have all the evidence, credit card statements that i used my credit cards to buy the plane tickets. Also, they required names and information about her only Aunt in the US along with her family. I can provide all this w/o a problem. Let's just hope for the best.

Best of Luck!!!!

If you cannot find the proof of airline tickets in a short time, you should provide them copy of your passport where it custom stamps show when/where you enterred the country where your spouse is residing. The point is to show them the proof you came/left the spouse's country. Good luck.
