Visa approved yesterday. The overall process went pretty smooth.
The lady who did my pre-screening was very nice and accommodating.
No other documents asked except the usual requirements i.e. cenomar, birth certificate, police clearances and the mrv slip.
The actual interview only took 2 minutes. Questions asked to me were: my fiance’s name and address. Thats it and he handed me some papers, told me my visa is approved. The consular officer was a very nice guy.
The whole process from waiting until i walked out of the embassy took me 2 hours.
Goodluck to everyone else who are still in the process of getting their visas approved. A piece of advice, please prepare all the documents. Although nothing was asked from me, i saw the other beneficiaries yesterday struggling to provide their supporting documents. Its better to be overwhelmed with a huge pile pf papers that have nothing to hand over when its required.

We got approved today. They didn't ask for affidavit of support or any other relationship evidence. The interview was only about 5 minutes. I was only asked the ff questions:
1. "How did you meet your fiance?", I explained we met on a freelancing website when my fiance hired me to help him with some software projects, consul and I even joked about how he hates the COBOL programming language.
2. "What does your fiance do?". I explained his job.
And then the consul told me to wait a few moments, and then maybe after a minute he just said I am approved and will get my visa in about 3 weeks.
It was surprisingly easy.

Our interview was scheduled yesterday at 7:15 am. Stayed at a hotel nearby just to avoid any delays due to traffic. We left the hotel at 6:15 and got to the embassy at 6:20 am.
First queue (USEM gate): 6:20 am
They ask for your DS-160 confirmation page and passport. They put the passport in a ziplock and they place a sticker with barcode on the confirmation page in alphanumeric format (one letter with 4 numbers). Ours was A**49. After this, you are allowed to enter.
*You have to go through routine security check so don't bring any electronic device. They have a separate entrance for US citizens and applicants.
Second queue (WAITING AREA): 6:35 am
You are asked to line up (seated). They allow entries based on the time of appointment. So there's no point in coming in way too early. Waited for 10 mins, then at 6:45 am, 30 mins before our interview, they let us in.
*Another security check upon entry
Third queue (PRE-S... read complete review

Consulate worker had information requested at interview but asked for additional time to read due to busy schedule. Con officer said all is good but she wanted to read before approval. 3 weeks later we get 221g requesting passports then submitted them. now status went from admin processing to ready and still waiting for visa. If officer would have read for 5 mins more we could have approval at consulate. Never got a 221G AFTER INTERVIEW

Our appointment was at 6 30am. We arrived on time and there was already a big line-up for 7 and 7 30am appointments, but they ushered us to the front. We were there with my fiance's 2 year old daughter and my fiance's mother. We hoped that they would let Mom in to help watch the 2 year old, and I knew from other reviews that I could probably go inside with my fiance. They wouldn't allow Mom inside, only the petitioner and applicants, so it was me, my fiance, and her child. We ran into a problem upon entry though. I had not printed the confirmation page for the appointment. For some reason I thought I only needed the e- mail confirmation. I think I knew about the confirmation page back when I set the appointment, but forgot that I had to print it. Anyway, I was really stressed. I hurried to an internet cafe with one of the people outside looking for customers. Since I didn't bring my phone, I couldn't access my e-mail from the cafe. I needed to receive a confirmation text on my phone (r... read complete review
