Interview was circa 5-10 min long, at the U.S. embassy of Paris, France.
No evidence of relationship asked for.
I.O. asked 3 questions: what does your fiancé do? why have you traveled to the States before? what do you plan on doing when you move stateside?

My fiance's interview was at 1 p.m. He was carrying 2 bags - a backpack and a briefcase containing all his papers. He was told he can't bring in the backpack with him and to go to a nearby hotel to ask them if they can keep his bag while he's being inteviewed. He came back to the embassy telling the guard that no one wants to take his backpack for a few hours. The guard called someone from the embassy to check his backpack and then they let him in. Phew.
My fiance dealt with 2 CO's. The first one took his paper work and making sure everything is in good order. He's speaking with her for about 10 minutes. Then he waited for over an hour for the next CO. The actual interview took about 10 minutes as well.
Topics raised:
1) Previous marriage(s).
2) His first U.S. visit and his 2nd one when he was refused entry. He explained the misunderstanding and his lack of knowledge of VWP rules.
3) What he does for a living in Fr... read complete review

Had our interview scheduled for 1pm, we arrived at 12:45pm, because they said not to be too early, but i wished we had arrived earlier, as there was a HUGE line inside. We arrived, got our number, and waited about 30 minutes until we went to the first window where she confirmed our appointment, and sent us back to wait again. This time, we waited over an hour, until we finally went to the second window. She collected all the documents that were required, our chronopost envelope, and took the passport. We went back to the waiting chair, waiting even longer, almost 2 hours.  We were one of the last cases left in the building, and this was the final window, with the vice-consul. Here, he had our completed file, and all the evidence we ever submitted. He asked so many questions, like what our addresses were, our zodiac signs  and how we met. The way he asked the questions really stressed us out, and he wouldnt give us a definitive answer, but finally we... read complete review

Difficult to enjoy when it is over a year you have been waiting since husband left thinking it would be quick to join him.
US embassy was as expected, fine, not friendly but professional.
Going to such places is always a little scary and you want to leave asap
in particular around that time of the year
From the number of people at the Embassy, and with the booth system you realize you are really one among a crowd.
The good thing is that We did it finally 
Had interview at 1PM.
Went by train to Paris the evening before
Stayed outside of Paris in a family flat
went to Paris early morning
had to go to doctor first to show xray and pick up my medical enveloppe.
In anticipation of interview I had got more recent papers, pictures, originals, was still organizing it in the train and had a big suitcase of papers and computer with... read complete review

I think because he was Moroccan and we are both young, he was grilled with questions! But they took his passport, which is a good sign, and we will just have to wait and see if the visa arrives in the 6-10 days that they said. Make sure both your French birth certificate, if you have one, and police certificate are within 3 months of the interview. Also the passport pics can't be the same as the ones you sent NVC-my husband had to go to the picture vending machine and take some. His interview was at 1:00 but they didn't start calling numbers until 1:30 and he was there for maybe 3 hours. They already had the 3 or 4 pics that I sent with the petition and didn't ask for ANY evidence! I was also disappointed that my husband didn't offer to at least show the pics, but they put him through a lot already.
