Your fiance is an american citizen so I don't think the embassy really cares if he is overstaying or not. I think if he is there, bring him over. Although having the petitioner there not only is not a requirement but also it doesn't grant anything, I think it does makes a difference.

My then fiance (now hubby) went with me for my interview. He was extremely involved with the k1 process so his mindset then was, 'It's our interview, our visa". The day I went in, we were the one of the only 2 cases there for k1 visa. The other case was a young woman and she was by herself. She went in first, but because it was in an open booth, you could see and hear everything. She had 2 interviews and no kidding, it was like 30-45 mins each. In the end, she got approved and was extremely happy.

Then was my turn...my first interview I was by myself, and my fiance was sitting just a couple of feet away...for the second one, when the CO noticed I wasn't alone, she call my then fiance, and asked him no more than 4 questions (silliest questions ever). The second interview lasted 5-8 minutes? at the most and we were approved on that spot.

I strongly believe that his presence made a difference not only in our approval but the fact it was super quick.

I think you should give it a try plus the moral support helps too

In dr they allow tourist to stay for 30 days. I came back in March and since then I've gone through the whole immigration process with my husband including visa in hand. I've been to the embassy 3 different times without a problem which I'm sure they know I've overstated at this point lol. When I'm leaving next week I know I'll have to pay close to 100$ fee just to be able to board the plane.

I don't think they'll care too much if he overstated in the past but for a visitor visa he wouldn't be allowed in the room with you anyways for the k1 if he can be there have him with you

Good luck

I love my husband ?‍?‍?
