So, we spent a lot of time reading these forums and reviews for what to expect in the interview, and our experience was pretty much in line with what other people wrote about.
There was one pretty big difference though that I haven't heard too much of in London - the interviewer asked my guy for pictures of us. Luckily, we came prepared with a binder of itineraries from all the times we've met and had about 15 or so pictures of us. The interviewer then spent time actually looking at the pictures, asking him to point me out in the pictures, where we were, who other people were in some of the pictures, etc. This was obviously no problem to explain, but definitely unexpected considering all the other reviews of people saying that they don't ask for evidence of that sort of thing.
Other than that, here's what happened: he got there super early, about 10 people in line, was the first "I" number of maybe about 7. When he first went up, he got the Chinese woman a bunch of others have posted about. He said she wasn't mean or impolite or anything like that, she just talks very fast and very quietly so he did a lot of smiling and nodding and just gave her his paperwork.
After about 45 minutes, he got called up to another window with a youngish American woman with brown hair and glasses who was very nice. She asked a lot of questions:
- How did we meet
- Do you have any pictures of the two of you together
- Where does petitioner live, is it owned or rented
- Does petitioner have any siblings, what are their names
- Do you get along with siblings
- Where does petitioner's parents live
- What are petitioner's parents names
- How much money does petitioner earn
- What website we met on
- Why were you and petitioner on that particular website
- What does beneficiary's family think of this whole thing
- Are we going to have a celebration?
- Are beneficiary's family coming to America to visit? To the wedding?
After about typing for about 5 minutes, she said he was approved, he signed the all the forms and left.
So for any new interviewers, make sure to bring pictures!
