I had my interview on January 8th at 2:30 pm. I went there around 2 and the guards let me in right away. When I went to the consular section there was one more fiance visa and a few green card interviews. I was the last one so I had to wait for a while. First I paid the fee - $265, then a guy called me to take my documents and put them in the pink folder with our approved I-129f. The documents I had were: DS-160 confirmation, passport, 1 picture, birth certificate, court certificate, marital status certificate (+copies and translations), medical exam results, and form I-134 (he didn't ask for any supporting documents for this, which i found strange, but anyways~). All the translations I made myself  He didn't ask me any questions, just gave me the DHL form to fill my address. Oh, and he took our photo album too. Next step was taking my fingerprints, which is every time a whole ritual for me with my very dry hands in the very cold weather, but after lots and lots of ... read complete review

The visa interview was scheduled for Feb 12th at 2pm and my fiancee and I arrived 30min earlier. There was a slight issue because they didn't let my fiancee (the petitioner) enter the embassy and have the interview together.
I got thru security check and headed to the main building where it was already very crowded. Luckily they asked if there were any people waiting for immigrant visas and if so to proceed to certain window. I paid the fee of $240 and then was told to go to room #1. I was interviewed by a Bulgarian woman who asked several questions:
How we met;
How many times we've seen each other in person;
When we met in person;
For how long she stayed in Bulgaria;
If any of us have had previous marriages;
When did we find we can file for K-1 visa (since we are a same-sex couple);
Have I ever visited US, when and for how long;
Have I ever been denied a US visa;
Where does my fiancee work;
What... read complete review

The whole process went pretty smoothly except that the local personnel who do the preliminary interview are not well versed in any thing other than the standard questions. The Bulgarian pre-interviewer could not understand how Petitioner could not have filed a 2012 IRS tax return, This had been completely explained in the I-864 cover letter and accepted by the NVC without a checklist. Of course the poor guy had no concept of what constitutes "taxable" income and "non-taxable" income...but he should have admitted that he had no idea of what he was talking about instead of acting like God and demanding explanations. Finally the American CO had no problem with that part, only asked routine stuff like what do you and husband have in common, where will you celebrate your anniversary, etc. Got approved no problem, spent about 3 hours there all totaled, but a little upset that some ignorant BG national should be questioning on a point which he has absolutely no expertise.
