Sorry for the late review.
Once again my husband has been denied under 221(g)
So my husband went for the interview on Nov 15, 2016 @ 8:30 am.
He got there his paperwork taken and I supposed, screened.
He said in less than 30 mins, he was called to the counter for his interview to begin.
The CO is a bald-head middle-aged black man. My husband said this man has an unfriendly look.
My husband was told to raise his hand to take the oath . Then Co remarked that "this is not your first time here, so you know the grill" (I think he meant drill).
Questions:
Where have you traveled to before?
Why was your k-1 denied?
Why are you applying for spousal visa now?
Where did you meet?
How we met?
Our first meeting? How I proposed? Engagement date? Knocking Date?
How did you get to know each other
Then CO asked him start over how we got engaged?
Engagement date?
Asked if we talked about the process (immigration process)?
Why didn't we marry earlier? (this was asked 2x
My husband said he was typing as he answered. And my husband also said CO said our wedding pictures could be just any ordinary ceremony.
We had more pictures from the different trips.
According other folks, this CO has a habit of repeating his questions.

CO didn't pay much attention to our evidence. With the limited amount of time it took for them to screen our evidence and call him to the counter, we believe he didn't look at them. And the comments from CO only add to our suspicion that, he had made up his mind from the K-1 denial and there was nothing we did or did not do to make him come to that decision.
This CO is not nice at all.
We are waiting for the NOIR. I hope this review helps others prepare. be encouraged!!
