Interview was at 2pm. I went with my fiancee to the interview. We arrived at 12:30pm and waited outside in line till 2:00pm before they let us walk to the embassy for the interview. Once inside, we gave the officer our KFTP and waited for my fiancees name to be called. The first time she was called up they just collected additional information like the police certificate and passport photos that we did not email them. The second time she was called up it was for the interview. The officer asked her about me and our families, basic relationship information. It was over in less than 15 minutes. We were told that we would have to wait to be approved till the medical forms came in then we would get the visa in 8-10 working days. We were approved after 1 week and now are waiting for the visa to be issued!

The interview went very well. It was at 1 pm, I arrived 30 minutes early but they only let you in 10 minutes prior to the interview. You then walk in and leave any electronics in the first checkpoint, then walk to a second building and go through a second checkpoint. You get a number and wait for the number to be called. They first ask for some of the paperwork you brought with you and you give them your fingerprints as well. Then you seat and wait for a second officer to call you by name (this is the interview portion) - the questions were very straight forward (where/when did we meet? when was the last time we saw each other? does my fiance know Spanish? etc), he asked to see more pictures which I had in hand.
I didn't get approval that day because they hadn't received my medical examination, but today (Oct. 17) I checked the CEAC website and it states my visa was 'Issued'. !!!

My biggest take-aways:
• Bring a paper copy of the P4 email with you. My fiancée’s name wasn’t on the list as having an interview that day and having that printout was the only reason why we were not turned away.
• If the beneficiary has long hair, please read the passport photo instructions closely, and make sure that his/her ears are visible in the photo.
• Bring cash, just in case. $5 bills, $1 bills, or “moneda.†There’s a machine for passport photos that accepts bills, and there’s also a vending machine. The Security Guards there are very nice and helpful, but they don’t always have change.
• Organize your documents in the manner that they request you to do so in the P4 email. If you can find an “accordion style†folder with the tabs, that is very helpful.
• Bring a book, magazine, or a sketchpad. They donâ€... read complete review
