Got there pretty - 6:45am - early, was a 5min walk from Hyatt Hotel.
Waited and a bit after 7:30 they opend the doors, I was second in line -Single B- behind a couple -Couple A-.
Went inside after showing the letter and my passport, passed through the check point with no problem at all, they were very nice. Waited to be taken up by a guard at the elevator with about 10 people, the guard only brought the first couple, myself, and one other person and left everyone else downstairs.
Waited upstairs untill after 8:30ish and I was called to wicket 12. Gave all my documents as requested (the woman was VERY friendly and very nice, she noticed I made a mistake on the zipcode before I even got to tell her and ask if it could be fixed and she said she fixed it for me and we laughed about it)was told to go pay and come back, then got my finger prints taken, then told to go sit and wait in the waiting room for my name to be called again. "Couple A" was already sitting down again and asked if I had to wait for another interview, I told them I did and everything was going well so far. They said they were waiting too.
Just after 9am my name was called and told to go to room 8. Inside room 8 I was VERY surprised as the person giving my interview was extremely upbeat, happy, cheery, comical, and pretty well joking through the whole interview! He asked me a few questions, how did you meet, when did you meet in person, how many times did you visit, whats his job and rank, who proposed and how, then he asked some funny questions and joked around while he booted up his computer. I was the very first person to be interviewed and he hadent even turned on his computer yet! He said he was just checking some files and was joking around and then asked me if I ever had been stopped and not allowed to enter america, then said the computer was going to pick a finger to scan and I scanned my finger that it picked, he said everything seemed in order and asked me when I would be moving, to which I said as soon as I get my visa of course! and he said "Well since you are -you- acording to your finger and you didnt bring any random fingers with you! I have to say.. Congradulations! and give you this letter if I can get it apart.. " the letter was stuck to a few other letters hehe. And he said welcome to America! had me sign a paper, explained about my visa and that it would be mailed and be inside my passport and I had to bring it all when I cross the border etc etc.
I never expected to have such a good interviewer! I was expecting someone a little more pinched and cold. Amazing experience, very clean and friendly.
