Hello everyone! I started this forum for people that will be looking into and filing a I-129F application for their same sex partners. I have to say that VisaJourney.com is an extremely helpful websit

I really appreciate the Biology lesson Paul Elizabeth, but this is completely off subject. If you have nothing about K-1 Visas or I-129F to post please keep your comments to yourself.

It went very smooth. I got there at 8:15 and by 9:30 I was done. Literally, the consul only asked me for my fiance's name, date of birth, how when and where we met. She also asked me if I had been in the USA before, for how long I stayed, if I ever had any Issues with the police or immigration. And then she typed for 30 seconds on the computer, and that was it!!!! Then she told me my visa was approved, and welcome to the USA!!!!! However, I saw other couples who had a lot of issues with the interview. I guess it depends on your case and how nice or mean the consul is !!!!! Good luck to everyone. It was a stressful process but I guess at the end it was worth it!!!!!

OMGosh I was just looking for this thread to ask how it went!!

Please lemme know about ur interview!!!! Do u already have an appointment date?????

Sounds like it went very smooth! Congrats again! This process indeed is a test of patience but in the end it's all worth it!

I'm still waiting for NVC to receive my case from USCIS and assign a case number so I can start the DS-160 and schedule my fiancée's interview :) I'll keep you posted here :)

Hi! Yes, interviews have been going pretty smoothly in Juarez. I've been following/tracking a few couples and everyone has had pleasant experiences.

Your NOA2 is probably around the corner now... patience is the name of the game in this :)
