I accompanied my fiancé to his interview. Although I was not allowed in, I was able to wait outside the building. His appointment was at 7:45AM and he entered the building around 8:00AM. His interview was complete and he exited around 9:15AM. No bags, phones, electrical devices of any kind were allowed in with him. I held onto all of his stuff. He just carried his required documents. He told me they were very friendly inside. He used a translator (he chose to do his interview in Turkish). Both the officer and the translator asked him questions. Some questions asked were:
When did we meet?
How long were we together?
Have either of us been married before?
Where are we going to Marry and when?
They also asked him about his time he spent in Spain and also about a person he named on a prior DS160 from a few years ago.
At the end they told him he was approved and a few hours later it showed approved on the website. Overall was a good... read complete review

Setting the interview date was okay, we found an interview date for about a month later. Appointment was at 8.00 and we were there by 7.30. They called 7.45 first, and a few minutes later they announced they were expecting people whose interviews are at 8.00. First, they took my passport at the window outside. Then, I went through a door and through an x-ray. Everything went into the bin (I only had my wallet. Everything else was with my fiancèe. Inside, people at the desk gave me a number, and I started waiting for my turn. When it was my turn, a polite worker asked me for my documents one by one through a checklist. I wasn't able to locate one of the documents and she informed me I could print it out from a computer they had just set up on the side. I handed in all my document, printed out the missing one, and sat down, waiting for my number to light up again. I got to listen to a few people having their interviews. Some of them didn't have an updated letter of intent, or had appli... read complete review

"Good forums to everyone. After a long wait, we finally completed the interview and received visa approval. Exactly 1 year and 3 months later, I set aside questions like 'How will things go? What documents are needed for the next stage? What if we get rejected?' and believe me, there's nothing like the peace of mind. We've aged a year in just one year. Regarding the interview day, our interview was on the same day and at the same time as @Payakan. We experienced everything exactly the same way, but I'll still write, as I've come this far with the experiences of other people. First, let me talk about transportation. I came from Adana with the 00:30 bus and was at A?ti around 6:10. My interview was at 08:15. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from A?ti to the consulate. There's a black car next to the consulate where you can leave your belongings (it's a bit suspicious because it's black and a car, but you can trust it, the simit seller on the corner said so ?). Interviews are announced s... read complete review

My husband said that the officer asked him the same question several times about my mother (his mother in law) as if to trick him. The officer also said that my husband was missing a document but my husband had it, the officer just did not look over his papers, or any of the things that would have shown proof of what he rejected our application for. I have been through this process before with a fiance visa many years ago, and my experience was much easier that time. I feel like luck was not on our side and the officer my husband had to do the interview with was not careful at all. Our case has been further delayed, as a result of such error on their part and we are really frustrated. I just want my husband to come home.

Overall it was a very easy process. Our interview was at 8am and we got there 1 hour early. Around 7:30am they let everyone in. My fiancé told me that they first called her to ask for documents: birth certificate, affidavit of support, letter of intents, police clearance. From there she waited 20 minutes and was called over to the booth. She told me the interviewer was super friendly and it was extremely relaxing and an easy experience. They asked her how we met, what does your fiancé do for work, do you have wedding plans. From there, he said congratulations you’re approved and you’ll have your passport mailed to you next week. Definitely nothing to feel anxious or nervous about. Just come prepared with documents and answer normal questions and you’re good to go.
