| Embassy Review : |
My fiancee had a morning interview. She was interviewed separately by two people, first by a young Chinese woman in Cantonese, then a middle aged American woman in English. The Chinese interviewer asked about the entire history of our relationship. We ran into a hurdle when it came to "proof of relationship," as apparently we didn't bring enough photos. We had brought about 6 new select photos from our travels all over the world representing our "continuing" relationship, but didn't bring the previous photos from the US half of the application. My fiancee was pretty nervous at this point, since the Chinese interviewer said we might not have enough proof.
During her Chinese interview, the topic came up of how much my fiancee's family supported our relationship. While we did not plan on discussing it due to the possibility it could complicate matters with a K1 visa, my fiancee and I already had an "unofficial" Hong Kong wedding banquet with all her friends and family prior to the interview. When she revealed this banquet, the interviewer asked why we didn't include banquet photos for proof of our relationship. My fiancee then gave our reasoning, which the interviewer immediately dispelled, saying that banquet photos would actually be strong proof of our relationship and her family's support of it.
The Chinese interviewer then left to talk to the American interviewer for about half an hour. The American interviewer gave the option of providing a translator, which my fiancee did not need. She rehashed some questions regarding our relationship and the work I did. Soon thereafter, she informed her that she was approved.
The whole interview process took roughly the entire morning. When you go for your interview, be sure to bring PLENTY of photos, especially if they're from an "unofficial" wedding banquet.  |

*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.
