We got our packet 4 from the embassy about a month after we had filed the I-129. The information they asked for sounds like the same for all the other embassies. However, they told us at the embassy that we did not need a police report from my fiancee's home country (Brazil) but ended up asking for it at the interview. They also lost some of our paperwork and didn't realize it until we called them asking about when our interview date was going to be. Our doctor's appointment was three days before the interview. One thing they don't tell you is that you will have to go from the doctor's office to a blood test office, to a radiology office, and then have to buy whatever vaccines you are missing and find someone to give them to you. However, our doctor was very nice and we got all the stuff done in the same day.
On the day of the interview we arrived at 1:00pm. Unfortunately we were one of the last people there and weren't seen until about 3:30pm. The interview is pretty straight forward especially since we have known each other for so long. The only issue was that they interview you through the glass banks style security windows so everyone can hear your conversation. One of the people working there let everyone in the waiting room know, albeit unintentionally, that she had syphilis. Also at the interview they asked us for a form that they had not included in the packet they sent us. Luckily we were able to fill it out there at the embassy.
I recommend that you keep in good contact with the embassy. If you don't hear back from them after you submit your packet then give them a call after about two weeks. Bring everything with you, even if you don't think you will need it. It can take a while but the people are generally friendly.
