My wife went alone to the interview as I returned to the U.S. 2 months ago, so everything I know is from what she told me. She was the 2nd interview of the day, and it began at 10:10 and finished at 10:30. The interviewer went through some of the normal questions: How did you two meet? When do you plan to go to the U.S.? etc. Then came a bit of confusion as the interviewer started to ask why my wife's name was slightly different from her birth certificate to her national I.D. There is one small difference between the two and it was a Thai government mistake, which we thought we had rectified because we had a translated explanation from the Thai government. The lady said my wife needed to have an AR-14? I think. Well the lady ended up just working past this and continued on with the interview, and said my wife will be approved. My wife came back a few days later and picked up her visa. My said the lady was not very friendly and other than the questions about the AR-14 barely bothered to even look up from the paperwork at my wife. My wife said having good English probably helped her out a lot. Other than the really long wait time between submitting packet 3 and the interview overall it was less of a hassle and difficult than it first appeared to be when we started the process.
