My interview experience today.

[blooms 63]

I completely agree with Kaydeecee. In my case the AP lasted for two weeks and they did not require anymore papers from me. Since you have provided more information the officer requested, all you have to do is wait.

Your fiance can email the consulate for updates. This is not the end.

Please be informed that K3 is obsolete. You might want to try the CR-1 route if you wish to marry your fiance instead of waiting for K1 to be approved. Which I don't recommend right this second because you just had an interview and still waiting for the consulate to respond.

Take it easy. You are over-reacting. Its no big deal. This is their job. Your reaction is part of the investigation process.

If they kept your passport and only asked you for this basic info, you will probably get it, if not right away, then in time.

Give it some time before you start planning to move to other countries.

You said you have been doing this a year...but its only been since Dec. We are still waiting to finish and we started in august 2013. Its really pretty normal. Yes there are a few cases out there that get it in 3 month, but its the exception.

After 11 months, and a waiver, now they are asking for my tax return and support affidavit again and get this....new photos of my fiancée...they dont really need any of this...they already have the answers...but still we have to wait longer....

Your experience is normal for many many people. Don't take it personally.

Just cooperate and you will likely be ok if your relationship is legit.

We have no money to travel back and forth. My fiance is trying to pay his bills so when i go we can buy a house. We havent since each other 11 months. Just because we gave a looooooot of money for k1 process and his citizenship. We applied for his citizenship on July 2013 and he become a citizen on November 2013. December we applied for k1.

We really can pay 1600$ for a ticket right now. But this doesnt mean we are not a real couple. Are couples that met once and see each other 10 days. We lived 3 months together. On the interview they asked :oh wow so only in 3 months u took the discion to be with him. Yes i did! And i would do it again. Cause he is the person that loves more that he love himself or my parents ever loved me.

I hate that these two women can decide about me and my fiance and our life. They saw me only few mins. They have no idea what we ve been through...

[Laspoxaroumeni 68]

May I ask how you met your fiancee?

We met online.started talking on December 2012.

[Laspoxaroumeni 68]

Yes, Greece! With their economy lots of people are dying to leave.

We are in the E.E. If we want to leave greece cause of crisis we go everywhere in Europe without visa. We can travel and stay there as long as we want.. Work study do whatever we want. We wont immigrate to America that u must wait 1 year or more for the visa.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Online is a big place. What site did you meet on? How is it that he lives in the same state as your brother?

[Cathi 5,748]

It won't take 11 months. Sorry to hear you were issued a 221(g) did you list your brother in you DS160?

• Applicants MUST list all immediate family members living in the United States, regardless of their immigration status.

I'm not trying to scare the OP, but how do you know it won't take 11 months, 11 days or 11 years? The fact of the matter is right now Greece is in dire straights with it's economy and many people are trying to leave any way they can(I'm not saying the OP is). Unfortunately the OP is paying for people who have gone before her and ave committed fraud to get to the US. AP can and does happen in every country, sometimes it only takes a few days or a few weeks, but for many it lasts for months, sometimes even years. No one knows for sure why the OP was put in AP, it could be for any number of reasons. Hopefully once she turns in what is required she will be approved, but there is no definite when it comes to immigration.

Seriusly now?

When i met my fiance i had no idea about his family. His family lives in md as my brother, my fiance lives in miami.

So u believe too that i tried to meet my now fiance cause he has family on maryland?

[MUXAGIRL 69]

Don't let this experience rattle you. They are not your friend or family there who have to treat you nicely. COs have a very tough job trying to figure out right from wrong and genuine from fraud. As everyone is saying, look at the bright side. If your relationship is genuine, you will get the visa, get back with your fiance in the US and have that nice wedding you dreamed of.

Life is not easy always, but you don't need to lose heart. If you don't have anywhere to live in Greece and have no job or support, why don't you ask your fiance or brother to help you out for a while till you get back on your feet ?

Not about what Harpa believes or doesn't believe. She is not the one you need to convince. She was asking because how you ended up meeting your fiance with family near your brother could be important for the CO in determining whether or not they believe you just wanted to get to the US to be with family. Red flags are all based on how it appears to the CO.

My fiance is the one that supports me and sends me few money per month. To pay for phone bill and food. I show them the transactions from paypal. Probably they will think that i have my fiance to just take his money.

Whatever i say or do it seems like they will use it against me..

No hope!!!

No, I was just asking. But I take note you are avoiding answering the question.

Good luck to you.

I cant go through the same again. I did yesterday!! It's so painful for me to have someone think the same bad way as the consular. Sorry but i wont do that. U dont help. And right now im so devasteted. And i feel like u are trying to piss me more. Maybe u dont. But I'm not on a good mood and this is how i feel when i read ur post.

I strongly suggest stepping away from this site for a few days. Take a break from it all. Spend some time with friends and do some activities that have nothing to do with visas and immigration. You've sent the embassy the information. All you can really do is wait until your CEAC status changes. It might take them only a few days or a week or two before your status changes to Issued. Not sure what the average time-frame is for those going through the Greek embassy. Once it says Issued, then your visa will be in-hand before you know it and all this stress and fretting will seem like a horrible dream.
