| Embassy Review : |
I was told to arrive around 11 but I came really early, around 10.20 because I live out of town. There weren't a lot of people there so they let me go through security right away. After giving all the original forms they requested (including I-134, which I didn't have - it didn't cause any issues) and paying for the visa, they informed me my visa will be done in a few days. They talked to me like it's all a done deal. I guess they never actually reject these visas 
I had to wait a bit for the interview. Unlike my previous visas, I didn't have to take a number, they called out my name through the speakers.
There was a misunderstanding with one of my previous visas so that caused a bit of an issue. The woman interviewing me was very nice and she just wanted to hear my side of the story so it was all cleared up pretty fast. Not counting the problematic visa, the interview only lasted about 5min. Some of the questions:
-fiances name
-his birthday
-what does he do for living
-names of his parents
-where do they work
-does he have any siblings
-who suggested the marriage
-where will we live once I'm in US
The visa was approved and it arrived about a week after the interview.
When I received my visa I noticed they mixed up my fiances first and middle name so I had to call them again to check if I'll have to return the visa. Thankfully, they assured me there won't be any problems when I enter the country since it's just a mixup in the annotation.
Good luck in your interviews! :D

*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.
