Gosh, reading this I got tears in my eyes toward the end. But honestly, I think they were just trying to do their jobs, and she of course passed with flying colors. She sounds like a wonderful person, and hope you're very happy together. Congratulations!

Wow ! What an ordeal. And to think you were both so well prepared. One great woman you are getting.

My wife and I would have never have come close if we had to go through something like this.

Congratulations !!!

This is the best interview review ever. Those officers should be fired.

They may have been a bit harsh, but if you look at this case, the circumstances were very atypical. They were just doing their job to validate the relationship.

Wow! Just wow! My husbands interview is tomorrow and now I'm scared! And so nervous!

Thanks for your kind words on my review! I hope it will help a few people.

But, I disagree that they should be fired. They actually did a very good job. We're paying them to keep frauds and terrorists out of this country. If they had approved her without this kind of questioning - it would mean they'll approve anybody - no matter how unusual their cases are. The fact that they did what they did shows they take a lot of pride in their work - which is to keep America safe. And I think we should all be very grateful for that. I feel much better knowing that they're really on the lookout for frauds from Pakistan.

And I feel much better knowing that when an unusual case like this comes along they're actually willing to keep an open mind about it and even change their minds during the interview. They could have easily just said DENIED and saved themselves a lot of trouble. But they really put a lot of time and effort into it and they kept an open mind about it - which should make all of us with honest petitions feel great!

Yes, I thought that was fascinating when they apologized to her and acknowledged exactly what they had done and why they had done it! I wanted to share that so if anyone goes through an interview like that in the future - just keep in mind - it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to deny you - but that they're really just trying to get at the truth. And yes, the fact she was approved makes up for ALL of it!!

Well Alicia, that's EXACTLY why I took the time to write all this up. Especially when dealing with Muslim countries. It shouldn't be as hard though when the beneficiary is a man, because they have a little more freedom to get out and meet prospective spouses. But definitely do a lot of interview prep! Think of every potential way you all might have broken Moroccan norms and have honest answers to explain them.

mimolicious - I agree with you COMPLETELY!

What a wonderful positive attitude. I am glad someone see's past the "immigration is picking on me" and truly understand there is a method to their madness.

Bravo for you for being prepared and standing the test. Congratulations this is a great testimony.

Congratulations. Someone who can remain calm and cool in such a situation is definitely a keeper, you chose well.

This is the best interview review ever. Those officers should be fired.

I totally agree that was pure harassment.

[shahara2013 16]

You guys are lucky

[Kolewenoik31 57]

Wow this was an interview..I know I will start grilling my husband more. We don't have many red flags a few, but still I thought I hammered him before now I will lower the boom and hope that he gets the opposite! Thank you for the in depth review I see some areas we need to work on.

there is no method to their madness. stop making them out to be geniuses when they are, and often do, screw up many cases. If one person has to suffer abuse and is denied for illegitimate reasons, they have failed.

Like I said, in my case, my SO was denied a tourist visa despite having savings, a job, and having traveled before whereas there are those that have gotten them with no job, no savings, and having never traveled. Let's not make them out to be wizards.

First of all Congratulations! I have tears in my eyes for the good news at the end of that interview from hell! I am here in Algeria staying with the family of my fiance'. We have our K1 interview November 20th. I am so grateful for the effort and time you put into this lengthy explanation of each question and the thoughts behind them.

Of course we were going to practice the questions they have on VJ but now we will be more diligent and also take more pictures!

Thank you so much for your big story! Bless your hearts! I hope you will be so happy when you are finally married! You have helped us so much!

Sincerely

LovelyLuminosa
