Walked out of the US embassy Jakarta today with a white slip. Yes, My K1 visa is approved. I wanna thank you all VJers for the your help, suggestions, and thoughts for my older posts. My interview was successful and I thank God it was very smooth and easy but I believe that's because I have gathered and learned so much information from all of you guys :)

So here's the review.

Appointment: Wednesday 22nd February 2012 at 8.00

I arrived about 6 am. Lol. Yea I know that was so early but that was absolutely has made me be the 1st one to get interviewed.

About 7 am the guards checked my email appointment from usem, then they guided me to the consular waiting room. I had to wait until 8 am until an Indonesian lady assist me at window 5. She asked me all of the documents that they requires. And I was so surprised. She only took my passport, DS-156, DS-156K, DS-230 (then signed in front of her), my original birth certificate and the translation, my fiance original divorce decree and the copy, I-134 and my medical exam result. U know what? She gave me back fiance's U.S tax returns 1040, W-2, Bank statements and his employment letter and paystubs! She didn't even look at them, As simple she said ' we don't need these documents,miss'. Wow! Seemed they only concerned to I-134 only and the supporting documents are not necessary. ;)

She then told me to pay the visa fee USD350 then back to her with the visa payment receipt.

About 9.30am a guy at window 2 called my name for finger prints, then about 9.45 they called my name to enter window 1, a small room for interview. There, a nice US consular officer greeted me very kind and start to ask me questions : -who is your fiance - how did you met him - have you been to US - what he do - where does he live - is the place he living now is his own place? - what address will you stay in the US -

Then he said "Welcome to the United States of America" and gave me a white slip and told me to pick up my passport with visa on it on Monday 27 :) oh he didn't ask for our evidence of relationships at all. So my interview was about 5 minutes. And I really enjoyed it :D

Once again, thanks VJers!!! I hope for best luck for all of you!!

Just make sure to bring the original of birth certificate of applicant. There was another girl came few mins after me has made the consular lady upset because she couldn't present her original birth certificate and she said that USEM never mentioned about original birth certificate in packet 3. It is important to be honest to government people , if you forgot, then tell the truth instead of make another excuses. I don't know whether she pass the interview with approval or not. :(
