Less than five minutes interview. My husband and I did not have to show pictures or anything other than our marriage certificate. The officer just wanted to confirm my husband employer and who we were living with.
The GC should take less than 4 weeks to arrive.

| Embassy Review : |
I arrived at 6.45am did the long line at the embassy and after going through the check points I was finally inside. I took a number and waited for about 30 min to go to the first cubicle, the person (very nice) asked me for the forms and the physician results. I have her what she needed and then asked me a few questions like: where does your fiance live? how old is he? How many times a year you see each other? How long have you been together for? (5 years now) have you ever visit him in the US? Where is your boyfriend now? and when are you planning to get married? Really easy questions, anything related about his career, his family... I brought a good amount of evidence (boarding passes, emails, phone bills, text messages) but the person only wanted to look at the pictures.
When I went to the second cubicle the other person (very nice, by the way) did not ask me anything about my boyfriend or our relationship, she only asked me about my time living in Germany. Did you like living in Germany, how long did you live there for? Did you learn German? I was kind of confused about the questions and then she said: Visa approved!!!
OMG, what a nice moment..She said the magic words hahahaha.
I paid in DHL and I was out of the embassy at 9.30am, just 3.5 hours.
My advise: tell the security guys you are going to immigration, follow the rules, be calm, take a little breath before answer and be honest. Also try to have all what you need in a envelope and well organized so you don't have to go through all the papers like crazy! The first thing they will ask you for will be the Ds230,156 and 156k.
Any question you can ask me and will be more than happy to answer it, if I know the answer hahaha.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
