Yes definitely. When we started this process I had so many questions and queries and I got a lot of help from VJ. I plan on sticking as long as I can to answer any questions so people to don't have similar issues like we did.

My husbands visa got approved!! He said it was a smooth process. The CO asked him about 4-5 questions. Didn't look at any pictures or evidence of relationship. And surprisingly did not even ask for the updated AOS and 2016 W2 that we had received a checklist for. Will post a detailed review shortly.

Here is our review. I might have missed a few things in the beginning since I was not present at the interview but I tried to add as much detail.  Thank you VJ family for your tremendous amount of support in the past few months. I plan on sticking around for as long as possible to help anyone who needs it based off my experience.

My husbands interview was scheduled for July 14th 8:30 am. He arrived there around 7:15.
Around 7:45 he was asked to get in the queue. The guards requested to see his passport and appointment letter. He explained to them that since our case was expedited we did not get an appointment letter and he only has an appointment confirmation that was emailed to him after we scheduled his interview online. They were okay with that and let him in without any issues. The immigrant visa applicants were separated from the non-immigrant visa applicants at this point. After his documents were checked and put in order by the staff he was asked to follow the red line and eventually was asked to be seated until his token number is called. He waited for about 35 minutes before his token number was called. An African American CO  greeted him in Punjabi and asked him the following questions:
Who is calling you?
How did you meet?
Love marriage or arrange marriage?
Who arranged it?
How did your families know each other before?
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
When was the last time you and your wife were together?
What does she doe for a living?
After that CO did some typing and said congratulations your Visa has been approved!
The CO was very warm and friendly and even joked around when my husband told him that he is an orthodontist.
Over all it was a great experience. He was not asked for any call logs, WhatsApp messages or pictures. Surprisingly they did not even ask for the w2 and AOS , even though we received a checklist for that!

1. You can call the medical centre planning to visit. And then schedule the appointment. 

2. Yes, you need to schedule the biometrics which has to be taken before the interview. Go to ustraveldocs.com and create an account and schedule appointment for biometrics.

3. Yes. She can choose.

4. There's one fee after your visa is approved and before your port of entry..don't worry about it now..

 

hope this helps!!
