Document Preparation for K1 Interview

[KTMT 3]

It's been over 2 years since our initial interview was cancelled, but now we finally have a new interview date. In preparation, I will be getting the following documents ready.

 

1. I-134

2. IRS transcript (last 2 years)

3. Proof of employment

4. Recent paystubs

5. Letter of intent

6. Divorce decree (since I'm divorced)

 

Am I missing anything? Thank you in advance.

Looks good, but it's been a long time since we did the K-1 interview in HCMC.  We took copies of everything to the interview. Don't give them a giant pile of paper, but do give them an organized compilation of everything they ask for. I've been to the consulate a couple of times and successfully made it through the K-1. Some advice for the actual interview:

 

-Get there early and only take what you need. Leave your luggage and stuff at the hotel/home.

-Don't talk to people on the street near the consulate - a lof of scammers and bad actors.

-Don't look nervous while waiting to be called to the window. Smile. Be confident.

-The American can go to the window, but they may tell you to take a seat while they talk to fiance.

-Fiance needs to speak English and if she doesn't understand a question, tell them so.

-If you have anything that may be questionable or raise a red flag, be prepared to talk about it.

-Don't offer to explain anything they have not asked you about. Only answer the questions they direct towards you.

-Be nice. They hold the power.

 

We spent a lot of time inside the consulate watching interviews. And we know a lot of K-1 couples (Vietnam). If the American is present at the interview, it will be approved (unless something obvious is bad). You have to be prepared, but be real. Don't try to over-explain or get upset. You'll get through it OK.

Good luck!
