Stay calm, tell the truth.  I am told that the interview is the easiest part of the entire process for almost everyone.  Good Luck.  I'm sure tomorrow will be a great day.

I have my interview tomorrow at Nepalese Embassy. I am really nervous, I don't do very good in interviews in general. If anyone has some words of advice or wants to share thejr experience, that will help a lot. Thanks in advance. 

There is no need to be nervous, Look straight into the eye of the co and answer the question, 8 of 10 questions is a pass

If you submitted lots of evidence of a bona fide marriage relationship with the I-130 or at the NVC stage, you most likely have nothing to worry about.  If the evidence you sent in before the visa interview was weak, you could take more with you to the interview.  Good luck!

I went to a different consulate but the interview process was fast and easy! They only asked me around like 5 questions and told me they plan to approve my visa. The CO should be nice and just think of it as a short conversation about your relationship. It didn't feel like an interrogation at all. As long as you're truthful in your answers and confident in yourself it should go very smooth :)

Well they do

My wife was asked 3 questions.  Why did we do CR1 when our K1 was approved, do I still work at the same job,  what did you think of America.

 

We went through K1, but due to personal reasons could not continue with AOS, so we started over with CR1.

 

For the K1, my fiance at the time was asked 3 questions, which I forgot exactly.  I remember they were easy, like what does your fiance do, where does he live, etc.

Always tell the truth.  Often, they already know the answers to questions they ask and are just checking to see if you answer truthfully. Also, relax as much as possible. The interviewer is not your enemy.
