The interview time was 09:30, we arrived at 9:15. Contrary to the time three weeks ago, when I was there for my passport, there was no outside line today. Before entering the building, she took a quick set of passport photos at the machine at the embassy. They require a white background, most Japanese machines don't provide that. The waiting room was crowded, nearly completely full. At 10:15 her number was called and the prelimary paperwork was done with the obligatory fingerprints. Then a two hour long wait started. At 12:30 she was called p to the interview window. She was asked when we first met, when we got married. Then a couple of questions which were specifically for our case and most likely will not pop up for others. Has to do with refused entry at ATL airport. My wife answered truthfully, the lady said that was good and in any case not a cause for ineligibility. The last question was where she would live in the U.S. and when she planned to travel. The interview took about 10 ... read complete review

My fiancee went to the interview alone since I'm busy in school and work here in the states. She said that it was pleasant and went smoothly. The immigration officer was funny and made jokes throughout the process at the Embassy. We were worried because I'm a returning college student and that my tuition assistance wouldn't be counted for income but there wasn't any problems so we were really happy of course! It's a great time for us because the waiting it just about over! The immigration process is time consuming and stressful but when you're at the end it doesn't matter anymore because you can be with the one person who makes life worth experiencing!

2 hour wait, 10 minute interview. Brought lots of proof, was not necessary...didn't even ask to see it.
The wait was harder than the interview!

she said it took about 2 and 1/2 hours total.
the interview was really short. only a few questions -
where did we meet?
your fiance lived in japan right? when and where?
will you get married within 3 months after arriving to the US?
other than that just sat and waited. turned in paperwork when requested.
not as scary as we thought it would be.
she gave the original "family register" to get the police certificate after we had it translated. only had a copy of the original and the translated version for the interview. that was a mistake you must have the original family register to give them with the translation. now she will express them a new one then they will return her passport with the visa.
good luck and no worries about the japan consulate!

The interview was really easy. They asked her:
How/where we met
Does your fiance speak Japanese? (she said yes, and the consulate officer replys, "Cool!")
Is your fiance in Japan or America now? She said America, and he asks:
What does he do over there? (she said that I go to law school in Philadelphia, and when she pronounced "Phil-a-del-phi-a" very slowly, he says "say Philadelphia two times fast!")
When are you getting married?
After she answered that, he said "ok, you'll get your passport back in about a week."
And that was it.
5 stars, my only complaint is that America has a consulate right in Osaka where my fiance lives, but they only give interviews in Tokyo or Okinawa. Come on!
