I want to thank VJ and all the members here because it’s been such a great help without VJ and its members I would be so lost in this process and just like I have read all the cases on here and learned from others and their interviews I too would like to help others so this is how it went……….. (and by the way the questions are not in order, my hubby is so unorganized Im lucky he remembered this much of the interview lol

He got there at 7:45 to stand in line, he was the only K1 the rest were lottery and tourist visas, So when he got inside they asked him to pay the fees(cashier) and they took his DS forms then they told him to have a seat that they would call him so about 30 minutes later a moroccan woman calls him and asks for his medical papers and the affidavit of support and all the things that packet 3 instructed him to bring she then asked him if he speaks English and if he would like his interview in English or Arabic, he said English of course, she then took his fingerprints and she said to him ok have a seat and they will call u, so almost 3 hours later they finally call him to window 5, it was the young blonde American woman he said she was very nice she then asked him….......

Write your fiancés name here on a blank sheet of paper and sign it

Where did you meet your fiancé at? And when? Is it a dating website? He said no its an islamic website

When did she come to morocco? And for how long? And how many times? He said one time/1month

How long did you have your account at this website before you met her?

How did you two start talking? And who started talking first?

Did you start talking more than friends from the very beginning ? he said no

What did you like about her profile?

Why don’t you two get married here in morocco?

Where did she grow up?

Why did she move to New Mexico?

Does she miss Los Angeles? He said yes lol

How long has her father had his business?

What degrees does she have? And he told her all the ones I have

What are her hobbies? And he told her my hobbies then he added that I love to try on makeup just to try out new colors and styles and she started laughing.

How long has she been playing piano? Did she go to school for it? He said since she was 8 years old

Your English is good how did you learn? He said from school

Does your fiancé know Arabic? How did she communicate with your family? He said yes and she said chwia? and she started to laugh then he told her that I teached him Spanish and she said poco? And she started to laugh again.

Why did she waite so long from the time you two met to come to see you ? and he explained to her why

Has she ever been married before? He said no

What does she do for a living?

What are your plans for the future?

Do you plan to go to school?

What do you two have in common?

Why do you love her?

Why didn’t you get married with a Moroccan woman? Grrrrrr lol

How many kids do you want?

How many brothers and sisters does she have? And where do they live?

Do you have pics of you two? He took his folder out and gave her the pics and she only looked at 4 of them.

She did not look at any of our things, I had made about 5 or 6 folders for him full of evidence and I mean everything all the answers he gave he had proof to back it up and she did not look at none of it at all but 4 pics out of the many pics he had and she said your approved and for some reason she asked him for my 2008 income tax report which is strange because I had given him my most recent income tax report but she wanted to see the last 3 years so I wasn’t told this, the consulate told me to only give him my 2009 so anyways good thing I sent it to him with all the folders lol he just didn’t think he would need it so he didn’t take it but all he had to do was call his sister and ask her to fax it over and she did and they took his passport and told him that they would call him, and he said she kept saying to him your approved like 3 times he said she was very very nice and that the interview lasted about 20 minutes and he also said that the key is to not be nervous, to not answer just yes or no and to go very confident. This thing about not even taking one look at our evidence makes me think what I thought all along that they know if they will approve you or not before they even call them to the window, I hope this will help someone because I know reading all the posts that its helped us to prepare better. And even though the CO said APPROVED I still wont believe it 100% until he actually has his visa in hand because you just never know with Casablanca consulate.

Congratulations, si man! :) I am surprised, however, that the blonde was "very nice" -- the stories that I've read about her are generally far less favorable.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I think there are two blonde ladies now...sounds like there is a younger "nicer" one & then the one everyone knows about...could be wrong though.

Yay!! I am so happy for you. Your fiance was right...the key is not to be nervous or just answer yes or now. I believe they put more stock in the body language than anything else there. Though in our case I am convinced they held our proof just to try to find a reason to deny him...but luckily they did not. :star: Keep me posted, I hope he has that visa in hand soon.

Congratulations! :dance: Hopefully once he has that visa in hand you will be able to sleep again!

Hey - that's GREAT NEWS !

Just to be certain, though - call the DoS Hotline(# in my profile), get a Human, and inquire for case status.

If any silliness after the interview, the DoS Hotline Human will know. FWIW, call once a day for a week.

*** moving to 'K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports' forum ***

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
