It was a breeze.  I must admit that my wife (now) is exceptionally well spoken, does not get nervous, and had already travelled and worked abroad.  And, although she didn't live there at the time of the interview, she grew up in Manila, so she is very familiar with the area.  I made sure she had all documents they could possibly ask for.  They did not ask for the I-134.  They did, however, take and KEEP my certified divorce decree, which was a bit of a surprise.  I emailed her a copy to print for CFO, just in case they wanted to see it.

 

Tell Jaycel to take whatever "study sheet" she has with her, so she can review it while waiting to be called.  But she also needs to be listening for her name to be called.  The questions were pretty basic.  Where do I live, my age, what's my birthday, have I ever been married before, etc.  No really hard questions.

 

Did they ask for a police clearance certificate from when she worked abroad?

She worked in Abu Dhabi.  Police clearances from UAE are supposedly not available from abroad, so she didn't need to provide one.

So scan and email documents then? Got it. I don't have to worry about a divorce decree.

@J.M. was spot on. Jaycel just had her interview a few hours ago and she was approved!! She said it was easy as long as you know your fiancé and know the important dates of your relationship. She was fortunate to get a kind, pleasant visa officer who put her at ease. The questions consisted of: "What is your name and DOB?" "Who is your petitioner?" "How old is he?" "What is his address?" "How and when did you two meet?" "When was the last time you talked to him?" Then he said, "Neither of you have ever been married before and neither of you have kids? Let's get you outta here! Congratulations I am approving your visa!" The final interview took about 3-4 minutes.

This was for the K-1 visa, right?

Great news!  Since it has been brought up several times in this thread, did they ask for the I-134?

They did not... They only asked for her DS-160, PSA Birth Certificate, CENOMAR, NBI Clearance, MRV receipt and appointment confirmation
