The interview is the one conversation that decides whether you spend your life together — and most couples walk in not knowing what the officer is actually looking for.

This book was written from both sides of that desk. David Swan is a former U.S. Immigration Officer who adjudicated petitions at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City and Guatemala City — and who later went through the K-1 process himself with his Peruvian wife. You learn what the officer is weighing, and what the process feels like when the paperwork is about you.

Inside:

• How to build a complete filing packet that doesn’t get flagged: names, dates, prior marriages, translations, civil records
• The interview questions officers actually ask, and how to answer them
• The 2026 public charge test, explained in plain language
• What to do after approval: NVC, the interview, and landing
• A simple green-yellow-red system so you know what’s ready, what needs review, and what should stop

A refused visa costs you months apart. An immigration lawyer costs thousands. This book is $39, one-time, yours to keep.
