My experience was pretty much as everyone else's, but my batch of applicants were let in couple minutes early before our 8:30am schedule (it was three of us entering at the same time).
I submit my passport first, then was called again to submit all of my documents (photos, birth certificates, mine and my grown children, marriage certificate, legal name change certificate, divorce certificates, mine and my husbands, police certificates, Canadian and from my birth country).
At the actual interview was asked many more questions than majority of applicants:
Address of my husband, and if we are planning to live there,
His phone number,
His place of employment and occupation,
What do I do for a living
How long ago I immigrated to Canada,
How my husband and I meet,
Where did we get married and when,
Who was attending our wedding,
How often we visit each other since we applied,
Where have I traveled in the last 5 years,
What was the longest time I visited USA and when,
Have I ever overstayed my visa,
Have I ever been denied entry to USA,
Asked about my grown children (names and dates of birth) and if they are planning to come to live with us at the later time,
If we have more children between us (yes).
Asked how old is my husbands daughter,
Next question was what her date of birth
And what is their custody arrangements and clarified that she will be basically living with us.
What am I planning to do when I move with my husband
Asked if I am currently employed and where.
There was a slight snag when they found a "discrepancy" in information on my birth certificate. More than once I was asked what is my mother's maiden name. I have provided that, but in my birth certificate my mother listed under her married name (this is normal procedure in country of my birth). They asked me to wait until they check something and after a little while they said that everything checks out.
I think this is it... Maybe I missed something, but basically this was the whole interview. I think officer was more curious about my life story, when what how... He said he is approving my application and gave me the paper "Welcome to United States of America".
That was it and I was free to go.
The whole interview was about 1.5 hours in total.
