Here is the review of my interview appointment, I thought I should paste it here for you to read it! Maybe it will be useful for some Italian people!


April 5th 2017 - Interview:

My interview was at 9.30am but I showed up at 8.10ish am. I went through security just like at the airport and left everything that is electronic. I left my bag there and took with me my binder and folders. They gave me a number and a pass that they attached on my shirt. You need to go to the 2nd floor. If you're Italian, that room looks like a Poste Italiane room haha. A guy sitting at a table will call your number. He will ask for your original civil documents plus copies: DS-260 receipt, 2 photographs, original birth certificate and a copy, original marriage certificate and a copy, original police certificates and copies. He will collect them together and give them to you. Now you will need to sit and wait; a consulate officer will call your number at a desk (glass desk just like poste italiane again). The lady was Italian. She will ask for the documents that I mentioned and give back to you all the copies (all the copies submitted to NVC too) plus the medical examination results that you will need to bring with you in the U.S. . She will take your fingerprints as well. She wrote down my husband's current job and told me to sit and wait for the last and "official" interview. Finally the other consulate officer called my number. I went there, she spoke English but if you want she can speak Italian. I continued speaking in English though. She will make you swear you're telling the the truth and she will take your fingerprints (again) but just 4 fingers of the right hand. She then started asking me questions: Where is your husband? How and when did you meet? When did your husband leave for the U.S.? (He was stationed in Italy for a while-U.S. Army) So she asked me how is that he stayed for so long in Italy so I explained he was in the U.S. Army. When did you go to the U.S and for how long? When is the last time you saw each other? Why did you wait so long to get a Visa? (We gave priority to the University and U.S. Army) Have you met his parents? Has he met yours? What do you plan on doing there? Where would you want to work? I answered all the questions and she said "you're all done and good to go; you will receive your visa in the next days" 😁
I got out of the consulate at 9.30am (the time I was supposed to have the appointment!)

I've never been asked to show the following documents/stuff at the interview:

-NVC interview letter
-Vaccination records
-Affidavit of support
-Tax return transcripts and W2's
-Husband's passport copy
-IV fee and AOS fee payment receipt
-DHL courier payment receipt
-Evidence of relationship
 

@Tantygold Congratulations on your approval! 
 
@Diana94 Congratulations and good luck
 
@Velazquezmexico Congratulations on your CC, hopefully you will get a May interview.  
 
@thegreatphoenix Wish you all the best and so much happiness dear! 
 
@DictumFactumCongratulations on your approval.

Congratulations!

Wife's interview approved!! Thank you all for the helps and supports, now the final step is to wait for the passport with visa?

Ok. Thanks!  I'll give it a few more days, then contact the NVC if I haven't gotten it by next week!  
 
Good luck!!

Hang in there, you're so close 

No take the new aos with you to the interview. 

Congrats!!! I knew it was going to be soon!! 

That's crazy. I've been told like 3 different things about my case. They once said it was being reviewed, then that it wasn't being reviewed, then again that it was being reviewed. My husband tried to call yesterday from the morning till the evening but never got through.
 
So I guess "action required" is the new "at NVC" huh? ?

No, I do not think they keep the bona fide proofs like albums etc.  However, you must take an original AND a copy of the civil documents like birth certificates, marriage certificate and police certificate(s).  You do not need to make copies of the other things like cards, phone records etc.  I do not think they allow electronic media (phones, iPad, etc) so you will have to print out emails or whatsapp chats etc OR take screenshots, email to yourself and print.  I hope this helps.
