Read the embassy reviews for your country. There are many things that are specific for each country. Chat on this forum with people who have recently had an interview at the consulate you will be interviewing at. Find out what questions they were asked. All the things that people had shared with us about the consulate in Romania were pretty accurate - right down to the questions they asked. If possible attend the interview with your fiance, especially if there are "red flags" with your case.

Compile a list of possible interview questions from the lists that are posted on VJ or other sources. Include the types of documents you may be asked for in the list. Print out this list, have a friend find someone you dont know to ask you these questions and ask for the various documents, in a random order, as a mock interview. If you do this a couple times, you will have greater confidence at the real interview. Confidence goes a long way...

Ok here are tips I gethered after gone back and forth on almost all forums and websites dealing with K1 visa. I may have missed something so if you don't mind, share with us your tips and let's make the list even bigger.

Have you studied the K-1 stuff here, in the Guides section, from a PC? I ask, cause it's very dense on the info.

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.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

Not really studied but I've read a load of K1- related informations not only on this forum but on miscellaneous other websites, read people's views and experiences, lawyers viewpoint, watched videos also.....all this by taking notes. So lie I said "trying to have experience before having experience"

I suggest you study, from a PC, the Guides section. There are 3 specific K-1 things, plus a general packet assembly guide.

On a handphone or feckless pad? Turn it off, come back on a PC.

You experience is very encouraging. Thank you for the advice

My biggest advice to you is be one step ahead. Get prepare and try to think all the possible questions, issues, posible red flags, problems and the way you are gonna respond to it. In my case my hubby and and I are 3rd cousins once remove which is basically 4th cousin. And were concern about getting denied. We made sure to have plenty of proof of our relationship, despite our blood bond, and posible answers to any questions related to our family bond. We thought about hundreds scenarios. In the end, the CO asked me how we met and we told her we were related in 4th degree and that was it, she never asked me anything else regarding that topic and were approved. My other advice to you and for anyone starting this process is being mentally and emotional ready for this journey. This is process is not for everyone.

OP, Darnell is giving you the correct and appropriate advice here.

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(!).
