Top 10 Mistakes at Visa Interviews
The Visa interview is the most important part of the whole visa process. A successful interview has a positive impact on your visa being granted. Following are some of the most common mistakes people make during their interview.
1. Not Prepared Well for the Interview
Being prepared for interview can better equip you for the interview. Prepare beforehand for commonly asked questions and their appropriate answer will be helpful prior to the interview.
2. Not Providing Complete and Truthful Information
It is very important that you provide complete and truthful information. Any incomplete/false information can lead to unnecessary delay(s). False information can have severe impact on your future ability to apply for US visa. It may also cause you lot of frustration and legal actions against you. You could be band for life from receiving a US visa. THINK before answering.
3. Providing Incomplete Documentation
Prepare all the required documentation with complete and authentic information. Read all the prerequisites and prepare all the documents accordingly. Keeping your documentation well organized can also leave to a positive impression on the consulate officer.
4. Not Carrying Appropriate Fee
US consulate has strict methods of payments. Make sure you know the method and the exact amount of the applicable fee. For example, most US consulates don't accept cash as the payment method and would prefer separate bank drafts for visa application and visa issuance fee. Refer to an appropriate source for more detailed information. (most fees are paid upfront, but...)
5. Providing Unnecessary Extra Information
Do not give away any information voluntarily which is not being asked. In many cases, people trying to be over confident and over smart give out more detailed answers than is required. This may trigger additional related questions which may not work in your favor.
For example:
Question: Why do you want to go to the US?
Wrong Answer: I want to see how USA is and if I like it I want to stay back with my son.
Preferred Answer: For tourism purpose and/or to spend some quality time with my son/daughter.
6. Inconsistent Information
Inconsistency in the information about what you provide in the documentation and what you say during the interview can go against your case.
7. Arguing with the Consulate Officer
Never ever have an arguments with the consulate officer. If you want some information ask in a polite manner.
8. Having Poor Communication
Poor communication is the number one reason that can affect your case in a negative way. If your English is not that great, then you should request for a regional language interpreter. They are offered at the beginning of the interview.
9. Having too Much Communication (talking too much)
Remember, you are the one being interviewed and not the other way around. So, keep your communication brief and to the point. Speak only when asked for an answer.
10. Appearing to be Nervous
Being confident can bring positive results. Especially, in case of visa interview where a consulate officer has to rely on limited information provided by you. Their judgment is highly influenced by the way you react to questions, your body language, and the authenticity of you answers.

Thanks alot for clearing that up @PaulMac

it was said previously, that NVC sends out general notifications, most of the info is for immigrant visas. K-1 is different, but they were too lazy to make an additional coding for K1 so they use general Immigrant visa replies and updates. for example it said "at nvc" then to pay fee's, etc. No fee's paid right? Right. so its same thing with this.
Wait for P3 for more info how to schedule interview, or Greenbaum might have more info on your Embassy ahead of time.
Relax and don't over think. Wait for directions from Embassy or call them when it'll say "ready".

Although yours went smoothly and u were approved,   many hundreds do not and the heartbreak is real
and no one real is out to scare without cause
VJ members are trying to help with what we have seen in the past from Nigeria / the NOIR's , the NOID's 
the members who ask WHY and HOW this could happen to them, need help (if we can give it)
comments here are not meant to scare/ they are sincere and honest and sometimes can sound brutal (as mine do) 
but i went thru 6 years of an immigration nightmare to be with my husband and the VJ members helped

We just had our interview (and approval ) yesterday, and I would like to share my opinion.  
 
First, I owe a great deal to the members on VJ, because they cleared up a lot of my questions and concerns both in the forums and through private message. Everything from filling out the forms to gathering evidence can be confusing and the instructions from other members made it so much easier.  Also, a few members were even super nice and notified those of us waiting for interviews through the embassy in Ghana when dates were available.  Always reach out to those couples who have dealt with the embassy you are going through. This is not an easy process and every bit helps!! However, you have to use the advice of others at your own discretion...
 
Second, a lot of members share their experiences (good and bad) without including a lot of "backstory".  For some of the denials, I saw people say they did not know why or give misleading information.  However, if you are smart, you will realize that most denials fall into a list of categories and you can double check your case with similar cases to get a good idea of your chances for approval and if there are red flags to be addressed.  I will not comment on others relationships, but age/cultural/religious differences, the time spent together, time spent in a relationship before becoming engaged, and language barriers are often highlighted for their significance in the approval process.  Other than that, you have instructions on what to send in your application, as well as, the requirements.  Going above and beyond the requirements is an option for some and a necessity for others.  
 
Lastly, true love overcomes all.  Some of us are fortunate to have approvals, but some are denied - that's an unfortunate fact.  But there are many couples who did not give up, they did not let the government decide their fate.  There is always a Plan B.  You may not yet be able to together here, but the world is open to you - international and online employment is at its peak right now. Even a basic American salary can go a long way in certain countries. You are not stuck - it may take time to meet the requirements for an approval, but how you utilize the time is completely up to you and your fiance/spouse.  

Very close call, i was in similar situation a month ago. Didn't make it.. it's 50/50. Depends, on officers' mood, time of the day, day of the week, that days' humidity, weather, national election results, if NY Knicks won or not, how the stock market looks like, if El Nino is in place, and if your gas tank in the car is full.
Jokes aside,  hopefully you'll make it!
