I know I don't post here as often I as I might, and being a VWP adjuster a good half of you didn't like me in the first place, but I just wanted to share the news!
I have to say that all in all, I've had a very smooth visa process; no RFE's, everyone I've had to deal with has been pleasant and I've not come up against a lot of the problems that so many people do.
I had my interview on Wednesday afternoon, and it was incredibly painless. At no stage was my VWP entry or withdrawn K1 petition even mentioned, they asked how Chris and I met, and looked through mainly our financial evidence. The officer was pleased that we had additional, non-financial evidence, but didn't keep any of the copies. We were in there for maybe 40 minutes in total.
I now have a shiny I-551 stamp in my passport and am free to come and go as I please!

WTG girl. Congratulations. Could you post that approval on the kamya site under my name. We are hoping to get updated information on the site again and could use your help

Congratulations.
As a reminder to others, I don't condemn AOS from VWP -- but I don't recommend it becuase when it does NOT work, it is a big FUBAR. And then I get to make some money doing "janitorial work."

Again, congratulations.

Again, congratulations.
I don't regret doing AOS from the VWP, but for my own peace of mind I'm not sure I'd do it again. The panic about it all going FUBAR was quite overwhelming at times.
