Hello all! After all the months of stress, paperwork, fees, etc. I am very pleased to share the fact that our K1 has been approved. :dance::dance:

The interview was far from "automatic". We were first in line at the Montreal Consulate at 6:30 am. At about 7:50, the guard showed up to open the door. He checked our appointment letter and sent us down stairs.

Downstairs, we went through a very thorough security check. It was very professionally done. Don't even try to bring in a cell phone, ipod or anything else electronic!

After a short wait we were sent up the elevator to the 19th floor. There we had to wait again (get used to waiting - bring a small book or magazine, it will help) until we were called to the Window. At the window, the woman checking us was EXTREMELY thorough. She sounded a bit negative and picky, but I realized that what she was doing was a good thing. She organized every document and looked for missing items, details etc. She found some - but fortunately we were able to correct them. It was a demanding but useful review. (Note - our package was a bit complex due to the accompanying children, custody documents, etc.)

Then we waited again for the interview. The officer interviewed my fiancee and her daughter without me, asking them the usual "where did you meet?" and "how many times have you been to the US?" questions. He was very polite and friendly. I was then called in and asked a few simple questions, and he concluded with a big smile and handed us the Welcome to the United States letter! :D

It was almost noon at that point, but we were done! Now we wait for the Visas to come in the mail. We are hoping to work it all out to cross on July 5th - to be followed by our wedding, and then, of course, start the AOS process... LOL.

For anyone reading this - the Visa Journey website is GREAT. It has been and continues to be a great help to us. This would have been much more difficult without VJ!! :thumbs:

Thanks again to the organizers of this website! You guys are GREAT

grats!

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
