Hi, I'm confused..What do you mean, when you say

"I just got my approval letter for fiance application. Now am appling for k1 visa "..

Isn't approval letter for fiance application same as 129 approval?

One is the I-129F fiance visa petition. Once that is approved, the benefiiciary (the foreign fiance(e)) applies for the K-1 visa. The approval letter for the 'application' is the petition, I-129F approval. The next step is to complete the K-1 visa application procedures at the foreign consulate in the country of the foreign beneficiary.

A bit of advice -- it is ALWAYS helpful for the petitioner, you, to be with her for the interview. In your case especially, it can make a big difference since you have been apart so long.

I actually think this should probably be added to the guides...perhaps with the exception of countries with visa waver requirements (as there are lower cases of fraud etc. and therefore less likely an interview goes bad.)

This is a very unusual case. I'd be careful about this. His best argument about his proxy wedding not being valid in the US is the fact that he hasn't physically seen his wife since the wedding. If he is present at the interview then that argument goes out the window, and the consulate COULD say that they question whether the proxy marriage has now been consummated, and therefore is a valid marriage. He also apparently got a waiver of the 2 year meeting requirement. The validity of the waiver is going to be tenuous if he shows up for the interview.

This case seems to defy much of the standard advice.

I hadn't thought about that. Funny how what goes on in the bedroom can effect a visa.

Very very good point.
