Interview next week

[Hoffy63m 0]

My fiancees interview is next week and we are just tying up all the loose ends before we go to the interview. Im kinda worried they will deny us because Im currently in the army and im getting out in 2 weeks. So we had my father send his tax forms notorized and he also filled out a I134 to show he will help support us untill I start my job in the US. I have to go to interview so i cant get any paper work untill I actually land the job. Im also writing a cover letter explaining why we are using his support. Will we get denied? She is Korean btw.. Ive read a couple of people saying that if u have a sponser u will get denied. Is this true?

As long as your dad's (co-sponsor's) financial information as shown on the I-134 and tax forms is sufficient, you shouldn't have any problems. Some consulates disallow co-sponsors for K-1s, but I've never read or heard anything that would indicate that Seoul has such a policy. My fiancee and I found Seoul to be a very good consulate to deal with.

Also, if your fiancee isn't using it already, I'd suggest that she check out http://cafe.daum.net/readyvisa - it's a Korean language "cafe" similar to VisaJourney where people share their experiences and tips for the visa process specific to Korea and the embassy in Seoul.

My wife had a K-3 visa interview in March this year. According to my wife, they didn't ask her much of questions.

The consular officer who conducted our interview was a very friendly and kind African-American lady. She swore us both in, but the questions were mainly directed toward Elisha. Her English is very good, so I just stood there for moral support and let her do all the talking. The officer asked her how we met, when I proposed, etc. (My complete review, as well as other recent ones, can be found at http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?trim=no&cty=&cnty=South Korea&page=1&dfilter=5://http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/...1&dfilter=5)

Reputedly there is another consular officer who sometimes does interviews and is a bit tougher - have your fiancee check the site I mentioned in my earlier post for Korean-language reviews of the Seoul experience.
