We went in for our K1 interview today. We arrived about 7:45am. We went up the front of a very long line and were let in after a few minutes. We got to the 3rd floor and took Number 1 and waited some more. About 8:40am, we were called to the window to present our initial checklist/papers. We were then called up about 9:30am for Haydar to be fingerprinted. After about 20 more minutes, we were called up for the interview.
The guy was very nice and interviewed us together. He asked Haydar when/where/how we met. He asked us both how/why we were in Korea. He asked Haydar about what he was studying. He asked us about how we got engaged and if Haydar had met my parents. I told him that they had visited in February and showed him a picture. He asked Haydar how he was able to get his passports since he hasn't been back to Iraq in 8.5 years (his mother sent it to him). He asked us about traveling together in Malaysia... where we went and what not. We showed him the stamps in our passports. He asked us our plans in the USA. We told him Haydar wants to train for MMA and I will return to a business job. We told him we would be living in the house I own. We told him we were engaged on 7/7/07 and want to be married on 8/8/08. He made a joke about what would happen on 9/9/09.
At the end of the interview, he said, "You can imagine we don't get many Iraqis interviewing in Korea. Your case needs further administrative processing." He said he guessed 2 weeks to "conservatively, a month." It's back to a waiting game for us.
