It is necessary to prepare the passport for travel abroad and the invitation. After 8:00am, security checks these documents. Before going inside the building, security checks your bags and your presence of dangerous objects. When you enter into a building, the first that needs to be made is a list of objects which cannot be carried by you any further. If you have something from this list, it is necessary to hand over. Further, having passed the next door, you will meet another security checkpoint, they again check you and your things on presence of dangerous objects, only now by means of more powerful technics. Then it is necessary to receive number of your turn on the printer of number coupons. It is necessary to press the green button and to receive number. Then, having passed in a hall, it is necessary to hand over the invitation and coupons with number of turn in a window to №5 or №6 which are the assistant to the consul and to wait for your turn. They have given me in this window a questionnaire with questions. It was necessary to fill the questionnaire before your invite. But I was invited so quickly that I have not had time even to start to fill the questionnaire. I have told them that the questionnaire is not filled yet. They answered: "Anything terrible"? I said " Can I fill it right now? " They have answered: " If you know, yes ". I have filled out form very quickly as I knew all. (basically it concerned my fiance). All this occured as the assistant to the consul watched. Then they started to ask for documents, and I submitted them. Then I was told, that I have to pay the consular for visa and wait as they will invite me back for interview. After a short while they invited me back to the window. I noticed that I have been invited earlier than the people standing in the line ahead of me outside the embassy. I was interviewed by a woman and I was able to do the interview in Russian. I was required before the interview to swear that I shall speak only the truth (with the lifted right hand). Then have taken prints of index fingers of both hands. Then there were questions. I am not assured, that have remembered everything, in fact it is necessary to consider my excitement.
Here questions which I have remembered:
1. How you have got acquainted with fiance?
2. How many times fiance was married?
3. How many times I was married?
4. Whether the groom has children?
5. Have asked the documents confirming the income of my fiance.
6. Have you met personally?
7. Where you have met first time?
8. When you met?
9. How many time fiance has came to you?
10. Whether you have been in the USA?
11. Do you have any joint photos? (though I have given one photo to the assistant to the consul before interview).
12. Is he familiar with your relatives?
13. Are you familiar with his relatives?
14. How have you communicated?
15. How often?
16. Have asked our correspondence.
17. Have asked our telephone accounts.
18. How well you know English language? (I told them I was just beginning, that what I shall do in the USA is to study language.)
19. When did fiance propose to me?
20. When I plan a trip to the USA?
Certainly, these were not all the questions, but only what I have remembered. I also put the signature some times in some documents. Also I remember, that in the questionnaire there was an item a full name of your groom (I filled it for memory, at presence of the assistant to the consul). Upon termination of interview, I was told, that I shall receive the visa within 1-2 weeks. Output from embassy through other door. Having left embassy on a counter it is possible to receive the things which have been handed over in embassy, through a window in a building near to a post of protection. I was done by 10am.
