| Embassy Review : |
Today (22nd of January, 2014) my "fiance", Threedet, had his interview at the Bangkok Embassy. He arrived at around 06:30 and was the 3rd to be interviewed. His interview was about 20 minutes long and was conducted by a friendy woman who asked many questions, but our I-129F packet was very well prepared, so there was no issue about the legitimacy of our relationship. Her questions were more concerning our 2006 marriage ceremony, which was not a legal wedding, but at the time we had no hope of ever being married legally, so we had our own private ceremony to validate our relationship, as has been commonplace for decades with same sex couples until recent changes in the laws. The C.O. was just verifying that we had not been legally married in the past, and she was concerned about my finaces, as we had expected because I had to use 3 forms of income to qualify and none of these were from employment (SSDI is an acceptable income source), but he was approved for his K1 visa and will be coming to America soon.
I agree with the previous reviewer, it's important to have your i-129F well prepared and to provide plenty of (photos if you have them) evidence of your long term relationship if you are able to, as this will assure the approval of your application. We had been thinking that we should hire a legal firm/visa lawyer to help us, but had been advised here not to waste our money and we did fine without one. Threedet had spent a lot of time preparing documentation proving the validity of our relationship, but as our I-129F had plenty already, the C.O. did not even look at what he had brought. If anything we were over prepared, but better over than under. 555

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
