Everything went fine and pretty quick, the consulate is very well organized.
I arrived at the new embassy building at Devyankinsky, 8 at 7:30am, there were about 30 people in the line already, they started letting us in by 8am.
They forbid to bring phones and smartwatches inside the building (along with other electronic devices and wires) and don't have any slots to keep it, so make sure you have left yours somewhere else. Once I got inside, I showed my passport and got a queue number. After about 20 minutes wait, they called me in to submit my documents, took only originals of marriage, birth, and police certificates. Then another wait to be called for the interview, I think it took less than 30 minutes. The officer was a nice guy, he asked when, where and how I met my hubby, why we chose to get married in Northern Ireland, where hubby lives and how long I spent in the trip to the USA, when we met. Didn't ask for any evidence or hubby's tax/employment documents. Then he ... read complete review

Very efficient process. The interview was only 5 minutes long. Vika said the CO was “cute and sweet.†She was only asked a few questions, such as: how did you meet? Where will you live?
The CO kept her passport. Vika has the medical tomorrow, so approval is pending the outcome. The medical folks will forward the results to the embassy.

Liliya says that the Consul didn't even bother to ask my name! She said that the Consul had our entire file on our desk. She swore an oath to tell the truth. Questions he asked: How did we meet? When she arrives is the US, does she agree to live with me? What was the name of the city I live in? That was it! Visa approved! Liliya felt that visa decisions were pretty much decided before the interview, and that the interview was nothing more than a formality. She felt the ease of her approval was because our petition was 100% complete and well prepared. She also told me that some of the women did not have it as easy as her, as many more questions were asked. SIDE NOTE: Her visa is scheduled to arrive back to her Feb. 7, 2019. That is exactly 14 days from the interview! Yes, she lives in Siberia where mail appears to be delivered by ox cart, a little slower than most other Russian areas. The point is, allow yourselves ample time before scheduling any plane trips to the US.

It seems that Russian police reports contain things which happened when you were under 18 years of age. For example, a driving accident even if it's NOT alcohol related and you never went to court, and the interviewer can and may ask you about it. Just be honest.
