My wife interview was at noon. She got to the embassy at 8 a.m. thinking they will let her in. They let her in 15 minutes prior to her interview time. They interviewed immigrant visa after all other visa category. She was there for 4 hours. She was called by an Indian officer and she returned all of her original documents. She was handed domestic violence instructions. They asked if she understands it. Then they asked her if you have an emergency which number would you call?
Indian Officer: Who is petitioning you?
Indian Officer: Do you have 2013 tax returns with you?
Wife: No deadline is April 15 to file, my husband didn't file yet, I do have the paystubs if you need them. Officer said no it's ok I don't need paystubs.
She was asked to take a seat. Then finally she was called by an American Officer. Do you want to be interviewed in English, Hindi, or Punjabi?

The officer was typing all the answers after the interview he went over them and verified if the answers are right. After that he said Congratulations your visa has been approved! Overall it was a great experience but they asked a lots of questions. They were asking everyone almost similar questions. My wife took tons of proof with her. Only thing they asked was for the wedding album to point out my family members.
