My fiance's appointment was on April 16 in Rio and was APPROVEDD!!! =D

The people there were extremely nice and everything went so smooth. We got there in the morning a little after 6:30 and were the second couple in line. There were about 6 people that day going for the K1 visa. The first person checked my fiance's documents at the desk in the room, then the second guy at the window talked to him a little bit, checked over the documents and we sat and waited for a little while for the big interview. During this time my fiance and I were trying to stay calm by talking and joking around with each other to the point one of the guards in the room passed by us and handed us a post it note saying "behave ourselves" in portuguese :P:innocent:

After some time we were called in for his interview and the guy just asked three simple questions,

-How we met

-why my fiance decided to come back to Brazil

(he was there as a minor and came back at 17)

-and then asked me when my first trip to Brazil was

That was it, then just typed on the computer quietly, at this moment my fiance held my hand and next thing we knew the guy looked at us and said "Well I'm going to approve you guys now" I just had the biggest smile on my face (i had to keep telling myself not to cry loll)

They didn't even ask for one bit of relationship evidence, nothing, they didn't even ask my fiance of a previous arrest he had as a minor or ask for any court records nothing. His arrest turned out to be just a violation and i believe disorderly conduct, and paid a fine so that's the only reason i can think of why it never came up since he oviously checked 'yes' on the DS form that asks if you have ever been arrested..... We had the certified court papers and disposition of the case just to be prepared but they never asked for them.

Other than that we went paid the shipping fee and now just waiting for the visa to come in the mail. It feels like forever waiting!! and its only been three days loll. Ill post a more detailed experience plus hotel details on the consulate reviews page if anyone wants to know more.

I just wanted to say thank you everyone for the help on my previous posts, I truly appreciate it and I wish all of you the best of luck with your processes :D

Thank you guys soo muchh!!! =)

Its definitely a great feeling to get through this part of the process, now its focusing on getting tickets booked once visa is finally delivered and getting through POE with no issues, I've read that people over work themselves about it more than needed so I'm hoping that's the case :)

GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

Thank You! =)

USCIS approved our petition on Feb. 28th and on March 22nd we both received an email to the accounts we listed on the USCIS forms about the date of interview. Our interview was scheduled for April 16th. Surprisingly it didn't take too long, it all went pretty fast. If you have any other questions let me know :)
