Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiance's interview was originally scheduled for February 1 (Sunday), but about two weeks before the interview, the Consulate called to reschedule for February 2 (Monday) since I assume that the Consulate isn't open on Sundays for interviews. His brother and I waited down the street in the '1919' cafe. My fiance spent a total of 3.5 hours in the Consulate.
Once inside the Consulate, my fiance waited about 15-30 minutes before a Moroccan man called his name to take his packet 3+4 paperwork and visa application fee. The man asked my fiance a few questions about our relationship and was very impressed that my fiance spoke English so well. He commented that my fiance's English was better than his and he couldn't believe that my fiance only studied English for 3 years in HS.
When the time came, he was interviewed by the oriental woman. He said that she was very nice to him and she seemed impressed by his English as well. She asked various questions including:
-What does your fiance love most about Morocco?
-Where has she worked in the past?
-What did her jobs entail?
-Where does she live?
-She was afraid to come to Morocco at first, what changed her mind about coming?
-What do you and your fiancee have in common?
-What was the last movie you watched together?
The documents for proof were few and far between. They included:
-my US passport
-copies of my flight itineraries, boarding passes (from both trips)
-copies of my return tickets with the updated flight change stickers on them
-a letter of explanation written, signed, and dated by me two days before the interview
-3 small albums of pictures from our engagement celebration with his family
-16 pictures from various dates before and after the engagement (including a screen shot of my family and us on video chat Christmas Day)
-the letters of intent and circumstance that were sent with our I-129F, newly signed and dated
-1 page of MSN conversation
-11 e-mails (8 from me, 3 from him)
-3 screen shots of oovoo video calls
-2 'snail mail' letters I sent to him after my first trip
-2 FedEx receipts from when he sent his half of the paperwork required for I-129F filing
-Copy of the medical exam results from the doctor
-originals of all my flight itineraries, tickets, boarding passes, etc. (just in case)
When all was said and done, the interviewer told my fiance that she had absolutely no doubts about the validity of our relationship but that she wanted a letter from my parents stating that they would provide support to us if/when we needed it since we are so young and we plan to stay with my parents for the first few months after my fiance arrives in the states. As far as I know, the interviewer is not requiring an I-134, but simply a letter written and signed by my parents supporting our relationship. She told my fiance to bring that to the Consulate any day after 1:30pm and the processing of his visa would begin immediately.
Sooo...visa is pending...I will update as soon as I know more.
