Yes, sometimes an officer needs an approval from a higher ranking officer or field office director..

Was she told right after the interview if approved or not? We were only told to expect something in the mail sometime soon. Status online has changed to Case is being reviewed.

In fact the IO can decline your interview if spouse does not attend, has happened in many cases. Can it also be that all the interviews that were waived but not yet approved before the new admin are now being done this way for efficiency. I don't remember reading many cases where just one spouse were called in unless it was a stokes interview. It was sitting outside scared for my wife as she is emotional not used to being interrogated. 

Fortunately, it got approved today. 
 
I sent additional evidence such as: 
 
- sworn affidavit 
- spouse listed as beneficiary in life insurance, 401k accounts etc
- and added her as a joint owner in one of my main checking accounts. 

good luck!

Hi Guys! So I had a delay on sending our joint I-751 petition but we're getting ready to send it out on Monday (in 2 days  ) As suggested on my previous post, I made a sworn affidavit for my parents stating that we live with them and we will be living with them until we save up some money for our own place. I am not sure if this is good, I was given links with very good information on how to make the affidavit but I am pretty nervous since I tried to make it 1 page but I am not sure if I did good or if I should make changes. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some feedback.
 I replaced my information with fake names, addresses and dates. But that is exactly how I have it arranged. Please let me know how I did and if I should add, remove or change a few things. Thank You in advance

Be sure to start a family with the right person or you will have more troubles later. Do not rush. I should know as I learned the hard way. I have had more than THREE K-1's approved. You will be fine. 

My ex is from the Philippines, here through K1 process.  We were married for 5 years, then divorced.  I applied for a 2nd K1 approximately one year after divorce.  It was approved and her visa is already in hand.  My ex is still in the US.  She is a US citizen now.  That was one of my conditions for divorce, so the I-864 would be nullified.  I don't think my previous marriage was even discussed at the interview, other than to be sure she knew it existed.
 
Other than your continued obligation for potential support, through the I-864, your ex has nothing to do with you or your petition.  She is on her own, like any other ex.  Since you already have NOA2, you have already met the requirements for YOU.  All that is left is for your fiancée to meet HER requirements.  I doubt the consulate will do much more than advise her that you have done K-1 before that didn't work out and question her a little more vigorously about your relationship.  They are not match-makers.  Their sole job is to look for fraud or legal reasons for denial.  Have your fiancée take plenty of evidence of your relationship.  Make sure she is well informed about your divorce, why it happened, and very comfortable discussing it during the interview.
 
I am hesitant to compare the interview process for the Philippines to India.  I have no idea what is asked in India.
 
You are not the first to get a second K-1, but your divorce date vs your filing date is really close together, so that is why she might get extra questioning about it.  Prepare her for that and you should be fine.
