My fiance's appointment was at 9:15 am, due to heavy traffic we arrived at 9:05 and he went directly inside without standing in any queues. As a petitioner I was not allowed to go inside (we knew this beforehand) so I found a nearby hotel and sat in their reception reading a book. He came outside at about 11:10 am.
Just a side note, I am not Indian and the CO did not ask any questions about that fact, he also did not ask if our families support our marriage (which they do btw)
Questions asked:
Who is calling you?
What is the name of your biological father?
What is the name of your step-father?
Do you live with your step-father?
Where does your fiancee live?
What does she do?
How did you meet?
When was the last time you saw her, is she here? (He said 5 minutes ago, she is waiting for me outside, the CO liked that and said "that's lovely)
Is this your first marriage?
Have you ever travelled to the US before? How many times? How long did you stay there?
Do you have any relatives in the US? What do they do?
Who are your sponsors? (the co sponsor is my fiance's uncle so they asked what he does)
The consulate took from my fiance his medical report, my I 134 and income tax returns, as well as co-sponsor's I-134 and finance docs.
The CO did not ask to see ANY proof of relationship, any photos, not a thing. And we had a huge file prepared with whatsapp chats spanning June 2014 through March 2015, my visits in Sept 2014 and now in March 2015, as well as emails.
Please note I massively frontloaded our initial application with hundreds of pages of facebook chats, skype conversations, whatsapp conversations, emails, and viber calls and had included over 20 photos. So I think frontloading was a big big help in this situation because the CO did not ask anything about further proof of relatinoship, also the fact that I was waiting outside (my fiance had my passport with him showing I'm there, was also a big plus I think.
My fiance was surprised how quick it all went and he said everyone was very nice and helpful, he even had time to get a sandwich while he was waiting. So overall was a positive experience for him. I am a bit annoyed they did not ask to see any of our papers but better to be overprepared, even the CO said what a big file we had and said it is better to be prepared
