Done!
Approved!

My fiancee went with her son to the interview, which was scheduled on December 6, 2012 at 8:00am. They live in Ramenskoe, Moscow region, which is 1.5 hours away by train. They were at the consulate at 7:20. There already was a line of about one hundred people. The doors didn't open until 8:00. By that time they say several hundred people were in line behind them.

They were let in at 8:00. They had to surrender their cell phones, flash drives, and such. When they got to the waiting room, they were asked to the window and they turned in all collected documents. From that point, it was a four-hour wait. Finally they were called.

The consular officer was a young lady, who was very friendly and professional. She told my fiancee that they couldn't locate the I-134, at which point my fiancee panicked. The consular office calmed her down, and said not to worry, they will look. She had someone dig through the pile of... read complete review

INTERVIEW

3-1/2 hours Total time at Embassy.

After submitting forms, my fiancee had to wait a long time for her turn at the Interviewing section. Interview lasted 5 minutes and all she was asked to explain was the way we met. That was it. No need to show pictures or emails or telephone calls. Nothing. Just one question and she was approved. Interview was done in English.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

We brought our 11 month old daughter along with us, and we got rushed to the front of every line. We had to wait a long time there, but our interview was by a very friendly woman, she only asked a few questions - "how many times has he come to visit" and "how old is your daughter?" and "does she have american citizenship?" and "what language do you communicate in?". It was maybe 2 minutes max. They did question me about my tax returns, but the tax receipts were accepted fine.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I was there for the interview with my fiancee. No problem getting into the Embassy with her. Lots of waiting inside (for 3 hours total) - but the whole process seemed to be organized pretty well considering how many people were there applying for visas. The interview itself was very easy and short - about 2 minutes for each of us, the same questions - where we met for the first time and how many times since then, and what we like about each other. That was it! The consular officer - a young girl - was nice and friendly, and didn't ask for any of the additional evidences (photos, emails, etc) we brought with us. My fiancee was a bit disappointed by that - she expected more formal and thorough interview. Other than that it was a very good experience overall.

The passport with visa came back in the mail about a week later, along with a sealed envelope, and another envelope they used to return our photos submitted with a petition.
