Take all the supporting documentation about your proof of relationship and evidence post the submission of 129-F. Good luck to everyone!

Had Our CR1 & IR2 interview at Mumbai Embassy on 19th Jan 2023.
Status: Approved
( Biometric appointment: December first week @ Delhi, Medical is on 5th January @ Max Delhi)
Interview experience:
The interview time was at 8:30 am, reached there at 07:40 am and were allowed to be in the queue and go inside. We were alone, and if you have any family members accompanying can wait across the street. You need to have the interview appointment email printed and your passport to go inside. Then comes a long queue and a place where you can submit your phones or earphones/pen drives etc. there, I had my phone, and they charged me Rs.50/- for one phone. Then the security check, it's just like the airport security check. Then they let us go inside, again you have to wait in seats, then finally inside the interview place.
You go to the first counter and take the tokens
Then wait until your token number shows up on the screen. Here you can select the language if not English.
We were called after waiting for almost 45 mins.
Indian officer:
Who is calling you?
Have you ever been to the US or any other country?
Collected original documents for me( Passport, Marriage certificate, PCC, birth certificate, divorce decree, custody documents)
Collected original documents for my daughter( passport, birth certificate)
Asked me to keep the latest tax transcripts handy so I can hand them over to the American officer when asked.
No passport-size photographs or photocopies of documents were asked.
Then waited for another 15-20 minutes and were called by the American officer. The interview language was English. They make us raise our right hand and take the oath.

After a few minutes, my daughter was allowed to go and sit, and then he asked me questions regarding divorce/separation etc.
Didn't ask for any other proof like chats/calls/emails/ money transfers/ hotel or flight tickets etc. Didn't even ask for the latest tax transcript.
After about 30 minutes of the interview, he said your visa is approved and handed over some printouts of visa approval, green card payment, etc. Returned all other documents except passports.
Just be honest. Even if you don't remember specific dates or timelines correctly, it's okay. They are just trying to make sure that your relationship and marriage are real.
Visa ready for pick up on 23 January 2023. Location @ Cochin
