Approved. Actual interview lasted about 4 minutes, most of which were spend looking at the documents. The only question was "How did you guys met and how have you maintained the relationship?". Did not request to see evidence (IMs, copies of airline confirmation, photographs, etc) of how we have maintained the relationship. We had all these documents we us, though.
Great experience, except for the waiting. Spent 4 hours at the consulate. We were 10th in line for the K1 visa interview because we stayed in the wrong line. (Interviewees should ask the guards the line for 7:15 appointment. K1 interviews are referred to as 7:15, the time interviewees are directed to arrive at the consulate, by the guards.
Consulate personnel (from the lady who reviewed the passport photograph before entering to the consular officer) were simply great. They were very polite (referred to us as Senhor/Senhora throughout) and professional.
Things to pay attention to: (1) Passport photograph MUST meet the specification requested unless they will ask you to take another one, (2) Take along with you proof of citizenship or green card. This is not included in the list to document provided by the consulate, but the document reviewers will ask for one, (3) last year's federal tax return and letter from employer. The second document reviewer and the consular officer looked at the dollar amount on both documents.
Best of luck to all waiting for their NOA2 and interviews.
