Hello all...my fiancé was approved yesterday for the k1 visa...yay! We have a question though. He will not be flying from haiti but the dominican republic because he wants to see his kids before he leaves. Will this be a problem? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends...I was at the California center...do literally every document and approval I needed it took about a month. My packet 3 though I had to keep bugging haiti for and that took a little over 2 weeks. So my whole process was about 3months. We waited about 3 weeks to do our interview

I don't think it matters it matters what county he leaves from. And I have a question also, what questions did they ask during you interview.

Congratulations on your approval! That's such a weight off your shoulders. It doesn't matter to USCIS which airport he leaves from. If you're looking for information about ports of entry there are reviews at the top of the page under Reviews: POE.

For everyone else posting in this thread about interview information at the Haitian Embassy, you should also go to the Reviews: Embassy and select Port Au Prince. There is a lot of good information about others' experiences.

K-1 from Haiti - NOA1: 5/27/2014; NOA2: 7/8 USCIS never updated to say that it was sent to the NVC (just in case you're as concerned about your status not updating as I was about mine)
