Best to get to the Convention Center area by 6:00.
My husband went with me, which made life much easier for me since he carried the "burden of evidence"  throughout. I wear a hijab and an abaya and had actually been told by some people (not on VJ though) that the CO is bound to use that against me.
Once we were inside the embassy, after fingerprinting, my husband and I were told to go to the waiting area and wait for my name to be called out. I was the third one they called for immigrant visa.
First Window: Took Rs. 11,330 (didn't have $ on me).
Second Window:
GUY: Who's here with you?
ME: My husband.
I called my husband.
GUY (to my husband): How are you, sir! When did you arrive?
HUSBAND: A year ago.
The guy rose his eyebrows at that.
GUY: What have you been doing here all this time?
My husband told him he's still working for his emp... read complete review

Guys my fiancee had her interview for K1 visa today. Just wanted to share her experience with you. I am not gonna go into the details of waiting in line
for the ticket at convention center and yada yada (i guess by now everyone knows that whole ordeal).. However it is good to know that ppl applying for K1 visa are suppose to stand in the "immigrant visa" line even though it is considered a "non immigrant visa".
She said the actual interview portion of the process literally took 5 mins. They did not even bother to check her proof of engagement (which she had plenty..). She said the CO only asked her the following questions:
1) What does your "husband" do? (to which she right away replied that i am her fiancee and not her husband yet.. not sure if it was unintentional or if they were trying to trick her)
2) Are you two relatives?
3) Why do you want to marry him?
4) Are you gonna work once you are in US?
After that ... read complete review

We reached the convention centre around 6 15 am. There was already a line of cars outside the gates which were closed. So you have to get out and walk inside. There was already a line outside the ticket counter at 6 30 am and I was able to get the ticket for the first bus that left.
At the embassy there was initially finger printing, then they asked for the medical report, and then the filing fee. Finally I got the call for the interview.
The interviewer was an American and very nice. He asked me just a few questions:
Who is calling you?
Was this an arranged marriage?
Where did you two meet?
What are his best qualities?
Then he said congratulations and everything is in order. He said I should get a call in 10 day from AMEX to pick up my passport!
One confusing thing though: He did take a verbal oath from me but he did not ask me to sign the DS 230 Part 2. And I also forgot about it till I had left the embassy. I ho... read complete review

To all of you out there, I hope you find this review uplifting. My fiance and I didn't know what to expect, exactly. After reading other reviews, I figured he would be interviewed by a man, drilled about how we met on the internet, questioning his integrity and intentions. All I can say is my fiance lucked out! He was interviewed by a woman, who he described as very kind and gentle in demeanor. She treated him like a friend. The interview was very short and she asked the following questions:
Where does your fiancee live?
What does she do?
Where do you plan on getting married?
And after that, "Congrats you got the visa, " and he was on his way for visa fees and such.  We are not waiting on the visa. They advised us 7-10 days, and it has been 6. I know we lucked out, but best of luck that others have this experience, too.
