I posted a lot of questions (and received a lot of great help, advice, etc.) during this entire K-1 process and our interview is finally almost here! It's the morning of March 19 (Wednesday) in Moscow. My fiancee is currently on his way to Moscow for his medical exam (03/18) and then the interview.

I am so nervous! I can't even express how much I want it to be approved. I feel like my nerves are the worst now that the interview date is finally here, because I am so scared about something going wrong!

For those of you who completed the process, how did you deal with those last few days leading up to the interview? They're incredibly exciting, but also terrifying.. can't wait to hear a "I got approved!" from my fiancee...

*fingers crossed*

Thanks! =) The process for him was about two hours total, so pretty quick. That was just the total time he was at the embassy. He accidentally showed up with a flash drive, and they told him, "You either get rid of that, or stay outside" so he literally just threw his flash drive and his headphones on the ground. He said many other people had to do the same thing, but no big deal. They did take his phone.

He said the actual interview was very short... maybe 10 minutes, tops. They asked him about the pet names he calls me. They asked him how he met me, which languages we speak in, has he met my parents (he has through Skype), were we in Russia together, and where I lived in the United States. He said it felt pretty informal to him, and he was definitely "over-prepared"... he kept wanting to show them more documents. Then all of the sudden after the few questions they asked the woman said, "Your visa is approved." He had her repeat it several times because he was in shock. He was definitely really nervous... we talked after it was approved, and I could see that the whole process had been stressful for him.

The people at the Embassy said that the visa should be ready within a week or less, so fingers crossed he'll be here soon!

Good luck, by the way! Soon you'll have your answer, too!
