Fiancée had 9:30 appointment on November 15, got there at 8:30. Greeter outside checked DS-156, 156k,passport appointment letters and passport size pictures. She also asked us where was the DS157 form and I had to explain to her that it was not required for female applicants. She did not believe me but after my insisting that it was not. Required she let my fiancée inside. I had to wait outside. She went through the usual security screening, went to a window where they collected DS 156/156k, I-134 package, police certificate, nonimpediment cert, birth cert. passport pics. Did her finger printing got her number and took a seat after her passport was checked and returned and she paid her fee $240 US. I GAVE HER US$. Because the local rate keeps changing. They also wanted two more passport size pictures because she only took two, but they just made a photo copy of what she had and used that. At 12:30 she emerged from behind the steel door and gave me the thumbs up. Her interview lasted about 4 minutes. It was a nice middle aged lady, she said she the officer smiled all the time and my fiancée felt comfortable. The following questions were asked:
HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR FIANCÉ
HOW WELL DID HE KNOW THE PERSON WHO INTRODUCED YOU
WHY DO YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH
WHERE ARE YOU LIVING NOW (she had moved from where she was living to stay with my mom)
WHY DID YOU MOVE.
then she said. " your documents look very good, everything looks fine and the relationship looks legitimate, everything is ok. Then my fiancée offered to show her the pictures of us, she said sure let me see. She looked at them smiled and return them. She did not look at any of the other documents I had prepared. She apparently made her decision from the documents I sent with my I-129F.
She then took my fiancee's passport and said you will get your passport back in two weeks and don't buy your ticket until you receive your passport back.
I had sent copies of my previous divorce with my application and they accepted that. I gave my fiancée the originals and they did not even look at it. The they told her that they already had copies.
They did not ask for any evidence. I had stacks of western union receipts, Skype chats(300) pages, airline boarding pass. And 30 photos, they looked at none of it. It was after she was approved my fiancée offer to show pictures.
Advice to those applying, front load your application with copies of evidence. The decision is made before you sit down to be interviewed.
