What's your back-up plan?

How? Every consulate is vastly different.

Could you distill from his post the message that he was trying to give you, instead of telling him to sod off?

While I truly 100% believe this potential worry would have no merit, it was something I did research earlier. The engineer in me wanted to know.

I found this article. Granted it is from 2006. But it did warn against just ignoring the K1 denial and marrying. Because I'm not a lawyer, and i don't know if this article is true, or full of horse manure, personally, if for some reason my fiancee is denied on her interview on Monday I will do the following:

A. Drink heavily

B. Deep sorrow with friends

C. Ask for a scan of whatever the embassy gave her

D. Hire an immigration lawyer for help to ask for my next step

The article I was referring to is here. Again take it with a grain of salt. It might not be true anymore.

Personally though, I'm already planning a major celebration on Monday when I get the good news. She has every form she needs, and every form she doesn't. And we've been in a relationship for 7 years. As long as she remembers my name is Michael and I'm an Engineer in Arkansas with no siblings instead of telling them I'm Frank, a fisherman from Alaska of a family of 12 I think I'll be fine.

They ask more than just a few basic questions. I'd advise practicing interview questions with your fiancé. They do try to trip you up.

The message means nothing if it's not London...

The point is that London is a vastly easier consulate than Costa Rica. If that girl in CR got through, you'll get through with both hands tied behind your back in London.

My concern is because we got engaged during our first visit in person.

Exactly... IT'S LONDON... Not Lagos or Guyaquil or other high-fraud consulate! Chill and just present your case.. The only denials out of UK have been for past criminal offenses, or drug offenses, not for questioning relationship... London is a cake walk for bonified relationship questions and rarely have issues...

So a pretty much guaranteed refusal?

You don't need to practice for the truth. The consulate has no interest in tripping anyone. If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear. Having said that, as a back up plan you always have the option to moving to the beneficiary's country.

I disagree. Sometimes, they ask things that one normally doesn't think about... for example, "what is your fiancee's favorite food?" I've been married 6 years and I'm not sure I would match what my wife would say.

They do sometimes ask the same questions differently to catch you. The point of the intreview is to weed out scammers and fakes, Otherwise, why have an interview at all, just hand out visas like lollipops.

I'm talking about London consulate.

You're welcome.

What do you expect in this case?

As I said, you need not rehearse for the truth. If you don't know the answer to a question, all you need do is say so. They can ask all the questions they want and if you relationship is kosher you will not have any issues.

The point of the interview is to weed out scammers and fakes. If you don't fit either category you need not worry.

So do you really actually think we're doomed...? Mind you, I do have mild autism so I can have a hard time differencing sarcasm or if you're talking literally.
