While I am quite some steps away from reaching that point, I can offer a few general suggestions:

* If your fiance is there, the officer is more interested in your responses and input to his/her questions than the other person, since they are already the U.S. citizen. This being said, it would be best for both people to review your evidence, documents and so on, so that once you enter the room, it would be as though you were talking to your fiance like when you were practicing.

* BE HONEST

* If there are other people in your photographs or letters, be sure to know who they are and not just some random guy/girl

* Generally the officer is doing many appointments in a day, so unless you sense they are hesitating, don't offer to present tons of emails, letters, etc. As I stated above, with honesty and straight-forward responses comes trust from the officer

* Have your facts straight such as finances, living situation, employment (or future oppurtunities if thats the case), wedding location, etc. You may not need to tell all of it to him/her, but it can't hurt to know

* Dress professionally and be sure to provide documents that are clean, well-typed, grammar free, and readable (no 8pt font or anything)

Its late so some of this may seem redundant, but I hope it helps calm your worries a little bit.

Be sure to have the 3 DS forms fill up before you enter the embassy and attach your id pics that is described in packet 4, one DS forms is down loaded in the internet with bar code. about the receipts i remember my pre screener asked me if my fiance sent money i said yes, then he asked the receipts ( e.g. the xoom, moneygram and western union).

if your fiance is divorce be sure to know the cause of his divorce or reason and bring the divorce papers.

Many consulates have their own methodology - Colombia for instance tells people to put their documents in a certain order - this is done as soon as they are allowed inside the consulate. When they are waiting for their names to be called for the interview, they have a chance to make sure they have it in the right order. Once called the interviewer expects to find documents in that order. Some people are sent back to wait again and put their material in order again - this happens pretty much every day in Bogota. SO check with the consulate you are going through or just take your documents in an order that you can sort out if needed or find when asked for. Good Luck
