US Embassy immigrant visa interview for K1 Fiancee Visa

While there are many the parts of the k1 fiancee visa or fiancee visa applicatio
n or k1 fiancee visa process, the focus of this article is on the interview at t
he US Embassy because it is the most crucial aspect of the k1 fiancee visa proce
ss.
Our firm operates in Thailand and we are Thailandâ s largest and oldest US Immigrat
ion Law Firm who does k1 fiancee visa. Thatâ s why; I am only qualified to talk abo
ut the immigrant visa interview at the US Embassy in Bangkok. While similarities
may exist between embassies, neither you nor I should assume this.
First, I will begin by telling you that the k1 fiancee visa interview and k1 fia
ncee visa document requirements are changeable from month to month and year to y
ear, and more specifically from counselor officer to counselor officer.
The counselor officer is the most important and influencing factor in the k1 fia
ncee visa interview. The officer is his or her own boss and has the sole discret
ion to approve or deny the k1 fiancee visa application. With this in mind I wil
l begin by giving you a feel for the officers most recently posted at the Americ
an Embassy in Bangkok, going back just three years.
Counselor officers generally rotate out approximately once a year, but this vari
es greatly. In the immigrant visa section there is only one officer assigned at
a time to handle all interviews. Up to 25 interviews per day. In the last year a
nd a half there have been three officers. Two worked approximately 7 months each
and the third took the position on June 15th of this year. Prior to the previou
s three officers one officer remained in the position for a period of 1 ½ years
. The fact that this officer remained longer than normal was beneficial to all.
He knew his job inside out, upside down, backwards and sideways. He was professi
onal, polite, friendly and helpful. He understood one important and basic thing
that most other officers do not understand (however it is becoming more and more
apparent that the current counselor officer understands this as well) and that
is: that 99.9% of Thai ladies appearing for a k1 fiancee visa interview do not u
se American men to circumvent the US immigration laws to gain entry into America
.
While ladies from other countries may more often try to use American men to circ
umvent the immigration laws to enter the USA, Thai ladies love Thailand, the cu
lture, their families, friends, Thai food, Thai TV, and the King. The vast major
ity would never dream of leaving Thailand if they did not have a stronger love f
or their American fiancée or husband.
Second, the counselor officer needs to determine (to his or her satisfaction) th
at you and your fiancee or husband have a real relationship. That you did not ar
tificially create a relationship with an American citizen as a way to gain entry
into the USA. Properly presented, the evidence you provide the counselor office
r to prove a real relationship needs to be very substantial and convincing.
