My fiancee says the questioning was simple and easy like other people are reporting. They asked my name, my address, how long we have known each other, and have I ever visited Colombia. My fiancee was unfairly refused entry at the border and we need the i-212. She said they asked her a couple of questions about that issue as well.
The only hold up with her interview is because of the refusal, since she had "troubles" they made her wait until they cleared other people out before giving her the interview. She was there 5 hours, and when she left she was called back. That was a nervous moment, but they wanted to give her a document they forgot to return. Regardless, she said the man that interviewed her was very nice and it helped her relax. Other than the wait she considered the experience good. Now we just need the I-212.

My fiancee's interview was scheduled for 7am this morning the 10th of November.
We arrived at the embassy just before 7, and walked up to the line with the BIG GREEN #3. We were immediately given a GREEN sticker and told to move to security.
Security was much like at an airport, but shoes do not need to be removed, and cell phones are kept until you leave.
After security you move to a line where you wait until you are told to wait in another line for a GREEN window. I think we were very fortunate that not only is the immigrant visa line very short, there were very few people there today for an immigrant visa.
Her turn at this first GREEN window didn't go as well as we had hoped. I was not allowed to be with her while she organized the papers to hand over. She did know exactly what everything was, but we were over organized and she was given a hard time for having everything separated and put into envelopes. (Here I would recommend having everyth... read complete review

We arrived at the embassy at 8:30am for our 9:00am November 9th interview. The lines were very long - hundreds of people. We walked past all the people to line #3 (the line for immigration) and there was a total of zero people in the line. Perfect! The woman controlling the line put green stickers on our shirts and we were let right in. Our electronics were confiscated at the security checkpoint.
Once we were in there was of course more lines. One with about 150 people and the one to the left which had zero people. We went to the line with zero people which was for immigration visas and we were then told to stand in front of one of the windows by the person controlling the lines.
There were two people doing the "pre-interviews" at these windows. I had read in the past that they give you a folder and a list of documents and to organize while you are line but they appear to have changed the procedure for the CR/IR visas. The person in the window has your doc... read complete review

Mi esposa tenia la cita a las 9 am, llego a eso de las 820,hizo una corta fila en la taquilla 3, alli inmediatamente mostro la carta de la cita e ingreso sin ningun contratiempo y la identificaron con un sticker de color verde. Luego hizo una corta fila en la taquilla 1 y 2, alli un funcionario revisa los documentos, solicita el pasaporte y los examenes medicos, le da el visto bueno, y llega la hora de esperar la entrevista oficial.
A eso de las 11:20 fue llamada a la taquilla numero 4 para la entrevista, el consul, un senor muy formal y de aproximadamente 60 anos. La saludo e indico como tomar las huella dactilares. Las unicas preguntas fueron relacionadas con el peticionario.
1..Nombre de quien habia hecho la peticion y ocupacion del peticionario.
Posteriormente revisaba los documentos y le dijo... que solo habia un problema...

It was a very easy process and staff is extremely friendly. My wife left the house at 5:40 arrived at about 6:00 for her appointment a 7:00 and it was perfect timing, not too early and not too late. At about 6:15 a lady started to separate the lines and it was organized in spanish. They take any electronics, so might as well leave them at home. She had to give them a few documents and then wait...It was a rather quick process and when she was called for the interview portion, the lady was extremely friendly and made small talk. My wife was not asked for any extra evidence and was approved rather quickly...Of course I am in the military and the interviewer was in the military for over 25 years, so that must have helped alot. Happy with the results and wife was out of the embassy by 10:00 am. Only bad thing is that they don't sell minutes around there, but other than that it was easy.
