So sorry for taking so long to write my review. I figured that this is the fastest way to answer all the questions of all those who have emailed me these past days.
On the day of the interview my fiancé arrived at 5:00 am to the park located in front of the Interest Section. From there he waited till 7:00am, that's when they started to call all the applicants who had interview that day. My fiancé was the last person to be called. From there they formed a line and waited to reach the security point where they collected everybody's belongings. From there he went inside of the building where two ladies took his fingerprints and collected his passport and his ds156 and ds156k, then onto another two ladies who took the 240 cuc and all the evidence. Now, regarding the forms...he was only asked for the ds156, ds156k first, and then the first part of the ds230 at the time of the interview. That's it! No affidavit was required, although he took it to the interview with the correspondi... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancé had his interview two weeks ago at the American Office of Special Interests. Fortunately, I was able to join him.

The day before, we double-checked that all documentation was in order. I brought a copy of the petition, the affidavit with one year of taxes (which they asked for), my original birth certificate (which they didn't ask for), more photos and evidence. My fiancé had his official medical exam results, passport, ID card and the DS forms with extra copies. I suggest bringing extra copies of the passport-style photos, as my fiancé needed 3 in total. And, obviously, the fee (in CUC).

We started out as everyone else, waiting in the park. They called my fiancé's name, he gave his ID card, and we waited again. Some officials came by and picked up his passport and gave me a pass to join him. DON'T BRING ENVELOPES! They will go through every single one at security and take out the contents. Once inside, we waited to be received in a small roo... read complete review

Review Topic: General Review

I wasn't present at the interview, so this is second-hand info, from my fiancé.

He was asked a multitude of questions (aka grilled), from 4 different staff members. Example of questions asked:

(1) Why have you chosen to marry in the US vs here, in Cuba?
(2) What is your fiance's occupation?
(3) What is her son's name? When is his birthday?
(4) Have you met/spoken to her parents?
(5) How many times has she visited you?
(6) where/when did you meet?
(7) Do you plan to marry within 90 days?

Also, his resulting interview was under "administrative review" & he was asked to return because his Police Record had just expired, so I caution against retrieving it too early. So, he obtained a new report within 2 days. Other than that, all the relationship evidence & docs were in order.

Visa was not immediately issued, but they kept his passport and asked that he return in 2 weeks for the visa. Al... read complete review

I wasn't there but my fiancé told me that he went in at 9 and at 10:30 he was out. They asked him the normal questions. How we met? How we kept in contact? Asked about my children and where I worked. I advise everyone not only to bring pictures, but phone and text records. He didn't take any phone records so they gave him a pass to come back. I immediately emailed him the phone records and we went back around 1 pm and they told him he could get his visa in a week! Thank you God for the finally getting us here. I can breathe now! Thank you VJ for all of the information

Everything is pretty much well described by others...

Go to the crowded park (well before you would naturally wake up), wait for name/number, get in line, wait, fill out form while in line, wait, enter USINT, wait some more, go to an "interview" window for them to take VERY FEW PAPERS/EVIDENCE (I suggest you FORCE FEED it at this window...If they don't want it...make them take it anyway), wait breifly to be allowed to pay fees, pay fees, wait some more, get finger prints, wait some more...then THE INTERVIEW.

We walked up together for the interview, and they said that was great, but told me to go take a seat for a while. They asked my (now) wife pretty basic questions, and asked who is who in photos...then they called me up to the window and asked basic questions, and who/where is this photo taken. It wasn't too hard to pass the interview, but we were "approved pending other information". I had the information right there at the interview window, but the ... read complete review
