Interview at February 19, 2013:
Was there at 7:00am and ended up 4th in line. When they opened the doors, the officer ushered in 4 people at a time. A woman asked for my Courier confirmation and passport and wrote the courier number on the back of the passport. Then we went up through security (which is just like the airport on a much smaller scale). The officer then directed me downstairs and said to wait.
It may have been 20 minutes or so when another officer came down and opened the elevator. (Sit as close as you can to the elevator - it helps!) He squished us all in and I was at the back left corner behind one other woman.
When the doors opened we followed the yellow arrows to the left and to the cashier who gave us tickets (I got C2!)
I was called up to window 2 not long after and gave her my passport, photos, original birth certificate, divorce certificate, marriage certificate and the original police certificate. She also asked for the original affidavit. She then took my fingerprints and told me to sit back down and wait to be called again.
After 20 minutes, I was called to window 9. The lady asked me to read the Oath off a printout. Then she confirmed my husband\'s name and asked if he was with me (He wasn\'t). She gave me back my original documents.
She confirmed that I had been married 2 times before (which wasn\'t the case; I was married once before. She said she must have confused the paperwork and asked for the divorce decree back and looked at our marriage certificate again. Then asked for my husband\'s divorce decree which I didn\'t have. After looking through my file she found a copy and was satisfied.)
She asked me 4 questions: how we met, asked what our courtship was like, what he did for a living, and how often we saw each other.
After a few minutes she said, \"Congratulations!\" I said \"That\'s it? It\'s done?\" She laughed and said \"that\'s it\"  and handed me the Welcome letter.
I was out the front door by 8:50 am and couldn\'t stop grinning the entire way back to my hotel.
