How does your fiancee refer to you during an interview?

Is there even a word "fiance" in Vietnamese? Technically she can't refer to me as her husband when talking to the Consulate. What is the best Vietnamese word to use for a K-1 interview?

Phuong says "hôn phu" for a male fiance, and "hôn thê" for a female fiancee.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

"hôn phu" for a male fiance, and "hôn thê" for the female fiancee are correct, but they're "book words" that are almost never used in everyday language. Most people say "chong sap cuoi" (husband soon to be married) in everyday language. So I think mine will just refer to me as "fiance" and I don't think the CO will have a problem with that.
