Arrived at the embassy at 8:30 for my 9:00 appointment. Two people were ahead of me in the immigrant line inside the embassy. Gave the Swedish guy all my paperwork, and was told that my police certificate was not accepted because it was in Norwegian. I had translated it myself and "certified" it according to USCIS recommendations, but since he knew I could get it in English, I had no luck reasoning with him..
I had prepared lots of information to prove that we have an ongoing relationship, but they did not want it.
So I sat down, waited for 1.5 hours or so, and had my interview. The little old lady started off by asking "Tell my about your future wife", and I told her how we met and what she is like. Other questions seemed more random, like "What does your fiancee love and hate", "What do you like to do together", "Where will you be living", "Who will control the finances", "Does she like your cooking" "How much did she make last year", "Does your family like her" as well as some follow up questions to these. My fiancee is a naturalized citizen, so she was very interested in how she came to the US and how and when her parents came. I didn't really know all the details as to who petitioned for who, but it didn't really matter.
After a 10 minute interview, I was approved, given that I can present an original police certificate in English or a certified translation. (I called the police right after the interview, and they will send it out tomorrow ) I actually saw the big red "Approved" stamp on my application before the interview started, but I am not sure if that was from earlier in the process or the "final approval".
In total, I spent 2 hours at the embassy.
