Heartiest congratulations!

This thread has turned into a progress report, so it's now moved from the K-1 Process forum to the K-1 Case Progress subforum, to be among similarly happy threads.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

had the interview today at Islamabad embassy

CO asked me around 5 or 6 questions as follows:

Q) How long have you known you fiance?

A) Since 2001, we were online friends

Q) When did you meet him in person?

A) I met him in 2014

Q) When was the last time you met him?

A) That's the only time I met him in person, first and last for 2 weeks in UK.

Q) What's the longest you have ever stayed in UK?

A) Around 4 months

Q) What does your fiance do for a living?

A) I answered that.

Q) Why do you want to marry in the US and not in PK?

A) Frankly because I am very concerned for his security here since he is a Caucasian American. We were leaning a bit toward him coming here but then terrorism started happening in Rawalpindi as well. Some 15 terrorists were captured from the housing society that I am living in. Nowadays you can't even be sure about your neighbours so we have been very reluctant about it.

He said fair enough. Then he said I am approving your visa. You will get it in 2 weeks through American Express.

I said, REALLY? I GOT IT? He said Yes. I said OMG I wish THIS (the glass screen) wasn't in between us, I so would have hugged you. He just laughed and said It was lovely meeting you.

I am so over the moon right now :D

Congratulations! That's awesome! :D

There are going to be problems here, the lack of "face time" chief among them.

When my husband and I applied for K1, we had met online in 2010, met in person once for 8 days in summer 2012 and didn't decide to apply for K1 until 12 months later. There was no problem at all with the little amount of time we spent together in person.

I know it all depends on the consulate who does the interview though.
