First of all, we were told from different sources that Megan could or could not go with Paul to the interview - we called and they said I could go, so I flew over for 5 days. The interview was the day before I left.
Queued for a hour or two (in the freezing cold!) until we finally got in the building. I had a birthday card that played music in my bag (part of our evidence) and we were required to check it at the door - I guess it looked like a potential bomb? Went in, got a number. It was like a bank, with windows and "tellers". There were screens posting the next number being called, like at the DMV. We sat and waited for about an hour - our number was called and we got so excited - went up to the window and all they did was take Paul's x-rays and fingerprints and the folder with our forms and told us to go sit down again.
We sat down again for about 20 minutes, then our number was called again. So weird because you think they're going to take you into a ... read complete review

Interview Experience.
Everything went smoothly and the process took around two and a half hours, most of which was waiting time!
Upon arrival I was issued with a number and directed to the waiting room. And then comes the first waiting period, in my case, approximately an hour and twenty minutes. My number was eventually called and I was directed to a window/counter. My fingerprints were taken and my documents were checked and I was then asked to pay a fee of $131.00. I was then told to go back to the reception area where I would be called again.
An hour later I was called to a different window/counter where my fingerprints were checked and I had to swear an oath. I was then asked the following questions:
Are you looking forward to getting married?
How did you meet?
When did you first meet in person?
Have you ever visited the S... read complete review

My husband's interview was at 8:00 a.m. The outside queue moved fairly quickly, but once we were inside, we waited nearly two hours for our number to be called. We spent about ten minutes answering questions at the first window while the clerk looked over our document file. She seemed a bit confused, but perhaps she was having an off day. From there, we were instructed to take a seat and wait for our number to be called for the interview. After a brief wait of no more than 10-15 minutes, my husband had his interview with a very personable young woman who asked him a few routine questions before approving his application. The only glitch was that the woman at the first window forgot to give him the pink slip to fill out for the courier service, but the woman at window 2 tracked it down. The last step was to wait in the queue to pay the courier service fee, and that took approximately 10-15 minutes. The entire process lasted about three hours, and boy, are we glad it's over and done with... read complete review

Everything ran efficiently with a very short wait. After seeing 1 person at a bank teller type window, Daniel was given a number and waited for the main interview. The interview was short and very easy questions were asked, such as does your fiancee have siblings, where do they live, are her parents still married, what are their names etc... The woman was pleasant, and told Daniel that she was "delighted to approve our fiance visa". We were told that it would take 5-10 business days but it arrived via courier 2 days later. All in all a surprisingly pleasant experience.
