Part of the fiance visa process is to attend an interview at either a US Embassy or consulate. The purpose of the interview is to both verify the legitimacy of the relationship and that you truly intend to marry your fiance(e) 90 days after your entry to the US.

Here are four K-1 Fiance visa interview questions that you should be prepared to answer at your interview.

1) How did you and your fiance meet?

Give a detailed description of how you met. Specify if you met online, in person, or through a friend.

2) What do the two of you have in common? How do you maintain a long distance relationship?

Here you want to discuss what interests, perspectives, and values you both share. Be specific. The immigration officer will be trying to determine how well you know your fiance.

3) How long was it before you decided to get married?

If you and your fiance became engaged in a short time, the officer may want to know what made you two want to get married so quickly.

4) Who proposed to whom and how?

Even if the proposal was not formal, you will want to discuss how the two of you decided to get married.

Things to remember about fiance visa interview questions:

• Don't be nervous.
• Spend some time preparing for the interview to ensure you have answers to the questions.
• Dress professionally and clean.
• The officer will be paying attention to your confidence level throughout the interview. It is important for your visa approval that the officer believes your relationship to be true and valid.
• Keep your answers short and concise and make sure you stress the legitimacy of your relationship.
• Be sure to answer the officer’s questions thoroughly. If you do not know the answer to the question, you can say “I do not know.”
• The officer may not know all the answers to the questions he/she asks, but the officer will take note of your body language, responses and comfort level. Take your time answering each question and take time to think if you need it.
• For the best chance of being approved, it is highly recommended to have an immigration attorney prepare your application and prepare you for your interview.
